On July 17th I was admitted to the Memorial ER where Danynn Dugas was the nurse assisting me. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, she was polite and attentive. After getting me in the ER bed, the pain had me sweating profusely and she was constantly wiping it off. She even got cold towels to put on me while doing everything she needed to do to get me hooked up to the machines and put my information into the system. I had forgotten my phone at home and had no way to contact anyone. She helped me find my sister's phone number so that I could inform my family of my whereabouts. I would have been alone during this scary and painful situation if it wasn't for her. She also helped me check on my truck. I had driven myself to the hospital and left it parked at the visitors' entrance. A guy moved my truck, but I wanted to check to make sure the doors were locked. She didn't hesitate, asked what kind of truck it was and the color, and ran out the door. I was in the ER for hours waiting to find a hand specialist. Two severe patients came in during my stay and she was nonstop running around doing everything that was being asked of her, plus constantly checking on my pain levels asking if I was comfortable and if I needed anything. She treated all the patients I witnessed that night with the same care, attentiveness, and urgency that I received. I was given a respectable amount of care and attention from all the ER staff, but Danynn Dugas went above and beyond. She is, without doubt, the best nurse I've ever had.
