On the morning of May 4th, a patient coded and died somewhere in Springfield. His family had assumed that he had been brought here and they came to our emergency room looking for him. Chaplains normally help with this, but the ER Chaplain was helping another family at the time. During this time the ER was busy with other traumas coming at that moment.
Kisha met the family and helped the deceased's wife. Kisha sat with her, talked with her, prayed with her and did an outstanding job showing true mercy values to a grieving wife. She further counseled the wife about feelings she might have in the days ahead and encouraged her to take good care of herself.
I was extremely impressed with everything Kisha did. She functioned very effectively as a nurse, friend, comforter and counselor. By the time I arrived, all of the "heavy lifting" was done.
