What makes Lizzie truly special is the way she cared for me during my emotional turmoil.
I was admitted for an emergency C-section with my twins, and from the very beginning, Lizzie was there to support me through one of the most challenging times of my life. My physical state was poor due to pre-eclampsia, and my newborn twins were struggling with jaundice and weight loss. On top of the physical challenges, I was also battling severe emotional distress, experiencing a mental breakdown as postnatal depression set in.
During those eight days, Lizzie became a pillar of support for me and my family. Her presence was extraordinary, not only because of her knowledge and professionalism but also because of the profound empathy and care she showed. She consistently went above and beyond what I could have ever expected. Lizzie’s ability to provide expert medical care while simultaneously being incredibly compassionate was something that stood out every day of my stay. She was always there to explain what was happening with both me and my twins, making sure I felt informed and reassured despite my overwhelming situation.
What makes Lizzie truly special is the way she cared for me during my emotional turmoil. She recognized that I wasn’t just dealing with physical pain but also the weight of postnatal depression, and she treated me with a level of understanding and compassion that I desperately needed. Her kindness never wavered, even when I was at my lowest point. She would take the time to listen, to offer words of encouragement, and to remind me that I wasn’t alone in this journey. This emotional support was just as important as the medical care she provided. Lizzie’s dedication, warmth, and ability to offer holistic care, supporting both my physical and emotional well-being, truly made a lasting impact on my recovery.
