John has supported our physical and emotional health like no other.
We met John here on the unit while being worked up for a transplant of the liver. John made me feel like I was his only patient. His compassion and reassurance were comforting to both my mother and me. He patiently provided education in terms that we were able to understand, I went home to wait for a liver offer over the Thanksgiving holiday and was able to spend time with my 2 daughters. Once I got the transplant, I was moved and I began asking to see John again to thank him for his care, but he was out. I was discharged 2 weeks later to home. Unfortunately, I had to be readmitted on January for anemia and I again asked for John. The charge nurse on the night shift made arrangements for John to be my nurse. John continued to share his vast knowledge and experiences with my mom and me. He has supported our physical and emotional health like no other. We are and will always be grateful for this champion nurse. Please make sure we have voiced our sincere appreciation.
