In what should have been one of the most stressful times of my life, waiting for results of coronavirus test, Wioletta was able to distract me by finding out about me and relating stories about herself. Being in isolation, the only interaction I had was with the nurses and doctors with their bubble heads on. While all the nurses were very good and professional, it seemed Wioletta went out of her way to spend time with me. I know this was difficult because I know I wasn't her only patient. I'm pretty sure that if it wasn't for Wioletta the almost 4 days in isolation would have seemed like an eternity. When you talk of nurses being "Angels of Mercy", Wioletta is definitely in that conversation. Just for a little background on me, I'm not an outgoing person. Opening up is not easy for me, so for me to start talking openly was amazing to me. She was instantly an old friend.
