I was recently diagnosed with colon cancer and surgery was scheduled. Nurse Pam was in charge of my pre-op admission. I have to admit that I was afraid of my upcoming surgery. I’m sure she understood this and helped to ease my fears by telling me about her mom. She told me that 25 years ago her mom had the exact surgery that I was about to have with the same circumstances. Her mom has been in good health ever since. She assured me that I was in good hands. Her understanding and compassion made me feel so much better. Before we left her office she asked if we would like her to pray with us. That meant so much to me and it helped calm my fears. There is so much more to any job than merely carrying out the task at hand. She truly understands that concept. TJ Samson is fortunate to have Pam as an employee. She is truly a calming person to meet when facing surgery. I feel blessed to have met her. Afterward, she called my daughter and checked to see how I was doing. She truly cares about patients and loves her job.
