My husband was admitted from the ER with chest pains. After waiting several hours for a bed, Kinshishi came down to the ER to move my husband to the 4th floor overnight. Immediately, she made a connection with us. She lightened the mood with a few jokes and let us both know he would be well taken care of.
Once on the floor, she was quick to care. You would have thought he was her only patient, but we know he was not! If we had questions, she would go right over to the "white board" and draw images as she explained her answers very thoroughly and made sure we were comfortable with her answers.
When my husband experienced discomfort, she paged the physician right away and handled the situation promptly. When we decided to take a nightly stroll on the floor, she walked along side us and made sure we felt at home, even though we were going through a scary unknown experience. She comforted both my husband and me.
Kinshishi is exceptional and deserves to be awarded for her ability to reach far above and beyond the call of duty.
