I had this nurse for the last 2 days. I have been in and out of the hospital and around many nurses over the last 25 years and 10 operations. I had a severe injury and if you haven't had one then you will never understand the true meaning of a good day or a bad one. This nurse changed my days from bad to good even though I was in a great deal of pain. He was able to put a smile on my face. He did what he said he was going to do even though he had a complicated assignment. He had another patient screaming next to me and made sure my door was closed. She wasn't saying very nice things. Even after he discharged her and got a new admission he never was late with my pain medication. He suggested measuring and icing my swollen infected arms so I could get some sleep for the first time in days. He never left my urinal full. Even behind his mask, you can see a smile and good intentions in his eyes. He takes his job very seriously and is not yessing patients or fellow employees. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face and keeping my wife updated on my care. Sometimes the many little things add up to something that just warms the heart
