Head Nurse Elise Staudinger gave my mother extraordinary care at Barnes West’s Emergency Room. Nurse Elise came out to the emergency room waiting room to let the patients and families know the reason for the wait and address questions. She was able to schedule medical tests for my mother and give us updates. Her kindness and care made us feel better. Since we were there for several hours, she gave my mom something to eat. I apologize for the delay in submitting this recount of how she went above and beyond. I have often thought of how she gave my mom such good care. She is greatly appreciated.
