Gregory taking the time to show us this provided the information we needed to provide closure and to support our decision to remove life support.
Gregory truly focused on my father and our family’s wishes. The empathy he displayed was exceptional. Every question that the family asked, he answered with so much compassion and helped us understand what was happening. It should also be noted that the family thought they received the highest quality and care during my father’s last day on earth.
Commitment: After the doctor explained what was happening with my father and our family’s decision to pull my father off life support, Gregory explained in detail what was going to happen and listened to my request to keep my father as comfortable as possible. He then showed my sister and me the CT scans of our father’s lungs, kidney, liver, and pancreas. Gregory taking the time to show us this provided the information we needed to provide closure and to support our decision to remove life support.
Note: This is Gregory's 2nd DAISY Award!
