Joe saw me as a human being and displayed such kindness in every interaction.
On Sunday I suffered a severe panic attack. I am a woman of prayer and believe God sent me to Mercy and the most amazing soul was my nurse, Joe Menotti. Joe deserves the Nobel prize for the care I am sure he gives every patient. He was so calming with me as I literally fought to stay alive. I have a long list of medical problems, but Joe saw me as a human being and displayed such kindness in every interaction he had with me. Being that we are in the midst of a global pandemic and that a man like him earned my trust so easily is such a blessing to me. I know I am going through a lot, but I am inspired and remain super hopeful that frontline workers like Joe go above and beyond to heal beyond the physical body and get the recognition they deserve. Joe is deserving of this DAISY Award. Much love and blessings to you and yours always.
