My husband was in severe pain, having had coils put in his left kidney to kill off the top part that was bleeding. The bleed caused him to need 6 units of blood. Nurse Chris got on the phone to bring in the hospitalist and urologist residents to augment the one dose of morphine allowed that wasn't working. They didn't answer their pages, but she was persistent until they came and ordered more pain medicine. Her nursing skills are exemplary, and we were fortunate to have her four times.

Chris made my visit extremely comfortable. She is compassionate and caring. Most anything I needed was brought to me well before I could ask for it. Keep up the excellent work and thank you for a great stay at your hospital.
