The patient visited Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital with his mother because of blood allergy. While waiting for their turn in the Ophthalmology Clinic, Elsie, one of the nurses, approached the child patient. Elsie discovered that the patient had not yet eaten his breakfast, and what Elsie did astounded the patient's mother. She bought a biscuit from her own pocket and gave it to him. According to the mother, she appreciates the nurse's act of kindness and will never forget it. The mother also said that this sweet gesture made her sure that the kindness and compassion shown by this nurse would be passed on to the rest of her patients. "The smallest of the smallest," as the saying goes.

Thank you, Elsie, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
