My brother, N, had a cardiac arrest while driving home from work. Two people ran out to perform CPR and kept him breathing till the Ambulance arrived. N was rushed to St James’s Hospital, where they fought so hard to save his life. He was sent to ICU where he was to spend the next 11 days. We had no idea how traumatic this journey would be. But the wonderful care in the ICU from every nurse and doctor was truly unbelievable. But there was one outstanding nurse, her name was Rita. Rita went above the call of duty with her care and patience for us as a family, especially his distraught wife. Rita answered endless questions, some of them the same ones over and over again. His wife took great comfort in this; nothing was too much for Rita. When we jumped with every beep, she was there to put us at ease. Nurse Rita was truly amazing, and we would love to highly recommend Nurse Rita for the DAISY Award. Thank you all in St James’s Hospital for your brilliant care, especially Rita. She was our Angel. N is doing fantastic, he had open heart surgery, he was in hospital for 12 weeks from the day of cardiac arrest. He has returned to his job full time and is back driving. Thank you.
