Lakshmi cares for the family as well as the patient. She provided so much love to our family as she tended to our son. She lives the mission: Compassion is our mission.
When it was necessary for us to make the difficult decision to remove the breathing tube, she held my hand, hugged me and expressed sorrow.
Lakshmi is honored by members of the ICU Team. They look to her for advice. The doctors respect her opinion. She follows the orders given by the doctors.
Kindness, courtesy, honoring the privacy of family and patient.
Having served at Presence Saint Francis for 42 years, she must love the nursing profession, she is dedicated to her work. She is humble. We thanked her over and over and she politely dismissed our praise.
