Maksymilian Sobkowicz, RN

I was admitted to the hospital for two nights and three days with a cat bite infection. I was fortunate to have Max as my nurse on my last shift before being discharged from the hospital. By the time his shift started, my morale was very low, as I felt like I was being treated more like a body than a human. Max did an excellent job of communicating with me and honoring me as an individual human being. Not just a case that he needed to administer medication to. Max was the first nurse that helped me take a shower. It turns out the shower was right across the hall from my room. That was Thursday and the last shower I had taken was Monday morning. It seems like a small thing, but hygiene and feeling like somebody was listening to me made a huge difference. Max then helped coordinate an efficient discharge procedure for me after my last IV was administered. His level of care and attention completely changed my perspective.
