Odette immediately stepped in with compassion and maturity.
An 84-year-old patient shares her heartfelt gratitude for Odette, a nurse who cared for her during a stressful time before a transesophageal echocardiogram. The patient was anxious and overwhelmed, especially with an upcoming trip, but Odette immediately stepped in with compassion and maturity. She listened attentively, provided comfort, and even helped retrieve important exam information for the doctor. Unlike others who may struggle to connect with elderly patients, Odette truly understood and made the experience a positive one. The patient deeply appreciates her care and support.
