Normally people dread hospital stays. The nurse who serviced my wife after her C-section has now and forever changed my mind. Not only was Mary polite, kind, and patient, but she was above and beyond reproach; setting a very high bar for any other nurse that ever waits on us again. Mary was spot on to my wife's needs; always on time with my wife's care needs. When she came with my wife's pills, Mary would come in early gauge my wife's response to pain, later returning to provide the long-lasting effect for relief. Mary's care did not stop there. She took extra time to explain different techniques for me to offer better care for my son's circumcision. What really took the cake for me, was that she understood that I needed to help my wife and son. Mary made sure I did not neglect myself. Also, when she got busy, she found time to take extra care of each patient; always returning with everything the nurse promised. I wish we got to say goodbye to Mary.
