Terri was so kind, caring, observant, calm, and patient-oriented.
I would like to recommend Terri in the Cardiology Medical Nuclear Center for the DAISY Award. I was scheduled for a nuclear stress test at 8:30 am. My morning habit is to walk in my neighborhood at 7 am, so I did it, but in my haste, I fell, catching my toe on a piece of broken asphalt in the parking lot! Nothing to grab, I fell flat on the left side of my face! I did manage to get home, get ready for my testing, and arrive a little late. Admitting was so kind and helpful, as my husband accompanied me. Bruising, bleeding, and swelling in my face continued to increase, and then I met Terri! She asked me many questions and prepped me to proceed with the test. Then she paused and told me about the procedure, the need to go upstairs, the time involved in waiting, and her concern about whether I could make it through. She kindly suggested canceling and rescheduling the test. I felt I could do it, and my husband agreed. Terri waited a few more minutes and observed the increased swelling and my pain level, and again felt I needed to know more about the testing procedure. I began to feel it was too much. Terri noticed my apprehension and called in the supervising nurse, and he immediately said to reschedule, and we did! Terri was so kind, caring, observant, calm, and patient-oriented. That is what I needed! Thank you, Terri! Your thoughtfulness, your knowledge of testing procedures, your nursing experience, your putting the patient first, and your kindness. God Bless You!
