I want to share something with you that has occurred this evening/morning. Fred showed extreme compassion to one of our patients. Mr. B has been a very confused patient on the VSPCU. Fred took the time to calm him down and then asked if he would like it if he sat in the room. Mr. B replied "yes."
Fred then gowned up and Fred is currently sitting in the room with the patient, holding his hand while he sleeps...honestly, for the first time in days. I know right now it's easy for everyone to complain about how bad things are, so I thought it would be a good time to share some of the amazing things that are currently happening in our unit.

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