My husband arrived for a simple prostatectomy. He developed a DVT in surgery and responded extremely poorly to heparin. His nurse, Abi, provided exceptional care from the first moment. Some nurses seem to "get through" their job. Abi embraces it. He gets to know every patient, and he put us at ease. He patiently answered questions and got supplies. He took concerns seriously. My husband's situation worsened, and the nurse assistant, Nada, and Abi quickly and accurately responded to help save my husband's life.
We were able to return to Abi and Nada on the 2 nights later. They work well together, another rare combination. They have mutual respect and great communication. Abi was also teaching a student at the time of our visit. He was an outstanding teacher, explaining things thoroughly and in ways where I was learning, too!
They don't know this, but my husband and I are relatively newlyweds - just shy of two years. Thank you for giving us the gift of more time together.
