She offered kind words and a hug right when I needed it.
I'm experiencing my first high risk pregnancy. Needless to say, each week often brings new reports, and we've undergone multiple tests and procedures. What can often feel routine to those in the medical community can feel extremely overwhelming for a patient. On one such occasion, Carey went out of her way to escort my husband and I from the Maternal Fetal Medicine offices over to Butterworth Hospital on her lunch break. She made sure we got through the OB triage, and to our room on Labor & Delivery. I began feeling quite overwhelmed at everything going on and broke into tears once we made it to the room. She offered kind words and a hug right when I needed it. Her calm demeanor and kindness in a difficult moment offered the reassurance I needed.
