My husband was in the ER 2 times in Ripon that he was provided care by Karmen. Karmen went out of her way to make sure my husband, B, was comfortable. B is a big guy and he could not get comfortable on the ER gurney. He had a very low hemoglobin and needed blood transfusions before being transferred to St. Mary's Hospital in Madison. St. Mary's wanted 3 units of blood in him before he could be transferred. Because he was so uncomfortable and agitated, Karmen ordered a regular hospital bed to be brought to the ER to make him comfortable. As soon as he was in that bed, he calmed down enough to fall asleep. 

A couple of weeks later,my husband needed another visit to the Ripon ER, and before he arrived, Karmen made sure there was a hospital bed in the room for him when he arrived. She remembered he was more comfortable in that type of bed. She also did a great job of taking care of him. She is a very calming person and also very caring. B has been in the ER several times, and she was the one who made sure he was the most comfortable. We really appreciated it.

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