January 2024 Honoree
Beata Kotecka, RN
This nurse literally saved my life.
I was lying on a trolley in the corridor of the ward, waiting for a bed after being released from A&E.
No one was around me, and I suddenly began to fit and convulse right then and there.
I heard a lady shout for help as she approached me. Her calming tone and reassuring smile made me feel more relaxed even though I thought I was going to die. Apparently, I went from a 0 to an 11 on your scale in minutes, and if it hadn't been for Beata, I do not know if I would have survived.
To be fair the treatment that I received from all the staff on HC Pretty ward was fantastic.
Bee, as I got to know her, was always smiling. Friendly and very comforting. When she was on the ward every patient was lifted by her presence, she had such an impact. When she had a day off, the mood on the ward was dimmed.
If only you could bottle up her energy, enthusiasm, and love of her job, as it is second to none. She is an absolute credit to Pretty Ward and the NHS.
Thank you once again, Beata, you are a lifesaver, and I am truly grateful to you, now and forever.
