I've been suffering from angina and was sent by Dr. J for an angiogram. The only appointment available was late in the day and I was worried about recovering enough to go home. Suzanne brought me several warm blankets and checked to see if I was okay frequently.

After the angiogram, I was informed not to bend, but I did in the restroom and the enclosure popped off with blood streaming down my leg. Suzanne and another sweet nurse put pressure and compression on my artery, cleaned me up, and reassured me. I knew I wasn't going home at this late time in the day and they transferred me to the regular hospital. I didn't sleep well that night with scary heart pain. I missed Suzanne's attentive and caring ways, but to top it off, she called the next day to see how I was doing! Thank you so much!

Thank you, Suzanne, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
