My son has come to St. Pat's many more times than he would wish with aspiration pneumonia. He always receives professional care but Lauren went beyond professional and showed personal concern for my son. She showed such empathy, gave advice not just on medical concerns but also everyday concerns. Discussions on how to ease the side effects of antibiotics for a patient wanting to continue class at the U. At the end of the shift, she would stop in and say goodbye and good luck.
