For three days, Jane Tiger was my husband’s nurse in the Trauma Care Unit.
She was totally dedicated to improving his condition so that he could have surgery. She recognized that he would respond to “numbers” so she set up a routine for him to use the breathing device every hour. She helped our family to have him drink an unpalatable protein and another liquid. He is a very ill almost 90 year old who could not move because of the external device on one leg and a broken ankle on the other. He would respond to Jane’s encouragement more readily than from our family. Her facts and knowledge constantly helped us to understand his status. Moreover, she could give the many specialists involved in the case exact and up to date information at all times. She was a comfort to us. Bright and compassionate, she deserves to receive the DAISY Award.
