Geoff was my husband’s nurse for three nights in a row. My husband was brought into ER with possible heart problems. All the blood work came back negative. He was finally diagnosed two and a half days later with pneumonia in both lungs and fluid around the heart. The second day of hospitalization many tests were being run on him. He was in so much pain, he literally thought he was going to die. Geoff was very compassionate, providing pain medication and calling doctors.
After staying with my husband all day, at 11:00pm, I finally had to go home for awhile.
He was in so much pain and I could not do any thing more for him. The pain medication was not working. I thought I would go home to shower and return to sit with him all night.
I called Geoff two times before deciding what to do. He took the time to talk to me both calls. He was very nice, never in a hurry or rushed. He assured me my husband was finally asleep after he called the doctor again for another medication. He also assured me he was sitting just outside my husband’s room. I really trusted he was and watching over him closely! Geoff taking the time to talk to me enabled me to stay home and get a few hours rest. Geoff was as concerned about my husband as I was and I felt comfortable staying home because Geoff was with him.
Thank you, Geoff for making a difference for us with your compassion and exceptional nursing.
