Theresa kept me informed and made me feel I was going to be OK.
I had my oxygen drop and I had a hard time breathing, so Theresa came to check on me. She made me feel her priority was me! This episode I had was not something that was normal for me and it was so scary. Theresa was so professional and comforting. She kept me informed and made me feel I was going to be OK. I thought I was going to die, but Theresa adjusted my oxygen and held my hand. She stayed with me until my oxygen came back up. I was there for three days but I think Theresa saved my life that night. I can’t say enough about how she went above her normal duties to keep me calm and stay with me until she and I knew I would be OK. I will never forget her.
