Ariel Almaria Pastoral, RN, BSN

In August of this year, I was staying at the hospital due to various medical issues. One morning, while I was having breakfast, I choked on an egg and was frantically calling for help. My nurse, Ariel, came running, and I was very impressed by the quick response.

I couldn't speak, and he immediately took action, which saved my life. He taught me how to save myself from choking and stayed with me until I was comfortable. Being in a fragile state, I was scared for my life and am grateful to have him. You should be proud to have such a wonderful, highly skilled, and caring person on your staff. As someone who has stayed at many hospitals and facilities, I can say that he is an exceptional nurse and truly cares about his patients.
