Kat just connected with me in a way that touched me greatly in my heart.
Kat, quite simply, should go around wearing a huge ‘S’ on her chest. She does her job with an ease and grace of which I have not seen in a very long time. If I had to guess, I would say it is because she does every act, every task, with a skill most of us lack these days: A love for her job. She never missed a single thing; every detail was looked over and cared for when she was assigned to me. She never once complained about anything, and she did every task with a comforting smile on her face. She never once made me feel ashamed about my circumstance. Every time she came into my room, she did her job with confident skill, without overlooking anything, going above and beyond to see that I was comfortable; all the while with a smile on her face that reaches one’s soul and makes you feel like everything is going to be all right. I’m not saying that anyone else did anything wrong or lacked in ability… Kat just connected with me in a way that touched me greatly in my heart, with the little things she does or her air in the way she does them, that makes me believe she is truly Superwoman/Nurse in disguise. Thank you, Kat, for that “something extra” you provided me. Sometimes, all the little things add up to make the biggest difference in the world.
