I came in for routine surgery. There were complications from my surgery that placed me in the CCU. That’s where I met my nurse. She took control and remained calm while keeping me alert and calm during a scary time. Even when I was close to death, she still made me feel very safe and secure under Mattie’s care. Her ability to take control of the room while staying by my side was amazing. It really touched my heart that she kept my family in her thoughts by checking on them. The next day, she even stopped by while at the hospital to check on me. Mattie is an amazing nurse, with her incredible knowledge and bedside manner; she will touch many patients' and families' hearts.
