I remember the day when I had a check-up in the cardiology clinic. I walked through the corridor to see the name of cardiology doctors and feeling somewhat anxious about my appointment. I saw a nurse and she greeted me immediately, politely and with a smile, asking me "Sir, can I help you?" I informed her that I have high blood pressure. She checked my blood pressure and re-assured me. She was so compassionate and caring to me I felt immediately at ease. She advised me on my diet and medicine. She was so helpful and kind, I appreciate the work that she is doing. All nurses should learn from Marina how to communicate with compassion to patients and families.
