Eduard went above and beyond for one of the unit's patients. Eduard was charging and was attempting to coordinate a comfort care patient's air flight back home. Due to the nature of the patient's condition the air flight team/company was requiring specialty equipment to be provided to ensure the patient's safety during transport. This equipment was hard to come by and would have taken days if not weeks to secure, which would have led to a lengthy delay in the patient's transport back home for comfort care. Eduard took it upon himself to secure the equipment rather than wait for it to process through the insurance in order to help the patient get transferred as soon as possible. Eduard's kind and giving heart helped the patient be home on comfort care measures with his family as soon as possible.
