Her caring attitude toward a patient she just met was never compromised by the urgent need to get something done.
In May, I was admitted to the OR for a procedure. After finishing surgery and coming out of sedation Kat was there and helped me along. When it became evident something was not right, she swiftly contacted the doctor while she remained at my side and tried to relieve my discomfort and growing concern. She never stopped trying to help me right until I was wheeled back to the OR. I was in awe at how dedicated she was to helping me through the event and the control she showed as she reacted to a worsening situation as my discomfort escalated. Her caring attitude toward a patient she just met was never compromised by the urgent need to get something done. The mark of a well-trained medical professional who still believes in providing outstanding patient care to those in her charge. I believe she is a true DAISY Nurse.
