I'm embarrassed to say that I was admitted to the psych ward L1 5 days ago with 2 baby turtles in my car. It was really sudden and I didn't get the chance to set them free before being admitted. She had compassion for me and them. She had the police escort us to the car and she had fresh water for their tub and fruit and salad for them. She cared for me as a veteran and for my animals. It wasn't their fault but mine. To me, she went above and beyond her call of duty. I think she loves her job, her patients and animals. That was so selfless. Thank you, Sheena, I was moved to tears. I was able to focus on getting better.
