Tonight is the second night my dad is in ICU under Barbie's care. I can't help noticing how comfortable and at ease my dad is while Barbie is around as he is going through his recovery from a long 12-hour surgery.
From the very first moment when Barbie introduced herself to us, we felt her warm welcome and joyful spirit. Dad is a very private and independent person. He would not bug others for help even if he could not take care of himself. Barbie has provided my dad with top notch post surgical care.
Barbie definitely made a difference in my dad's recovery and to my family's quality of life after dad's surgery. I witnessed some difficult procedures Barbie carried out for my dad, including the ones even a family member would feel uncomfortable to manage. She always has my dad's feelings in mind and does everything she can to help him feel better physically and psycholigically.
I believe the quality of services demonstrated by Barbie resonate extremely well to the outstanding role model that we are all searching for in our own lives.
