Beth met my wife as she was taken to the ER after her heart rate and blood pressure soared dangerously high while waiting for a CT Scan at UVMC. My wife was taken care of from the start by this amazing individual. Beth worked to calm my wife's anxiety, but she paid total attention to what she had to do for my wife medically. She communicated clearly to the attending ER physician and the other hospital nurses and staff. All through this, she never left my wife's side. Then, my wife had a major problem with getting a good breath and she was panicking. Beth held her hand and gave her support and care. She went with my wife to the ICU, never letting her go, holding onto her and comforting her the whole time. She held onto my wife until the time the doctors intubated her. Then she returned to us, the family, to calm us and give us support. The day after, Beth made a special trip to the ICU to check on my wife and to give her a big hug. She stayed and talked with my wife a little while. If it had not been for Beth, I'm not sure if my wife would have made it through her medical emergency. Beth is truly an angel and just what every person needs in their time of trouble.
