أنا مريضة كلى وأسوي غسيل بريتوني، ولما بدأت التدريب كنت محطمة نفسيًا وما عندي أي طاقة أتعلم أو أتقبل وضعي. لكن الممرضة فاطمة كانت سبب كبير في تغييري. قعدت معاي، بسطت لي الأمور خطوة بخطوة، وسمعتني بكل صبر. ما حسيت إني مجرد مريضة، حسّيت إن في حد يفهم خوفي ويحتويني. مع الوقت أخذت القوة منها. وجودها كان نقطة تحول في حياتي، ومن غير دعمها ما كنت بقدر أتجاوز هذه المرحلة. بالنسبة لي، فاطمة مو بس ممرضه.
English Translation:
I am a kidney patient undergoing peritoneal dialysis. When I first began my training, I was emotionally shattered; I had absolutely no energy to learn or to come to terms with my condition. However, Nurse Fatima played a pivotal role in my transformation. She sat with me, simplified everything step by step, and listened to me with boundless patience. I never felt like just another patient; instead, I felt that there was someone who truly understood my fears and offered me a sense of comfort and security. Over time, I drew strength from her. Her presence marked a turning point in my life, and without her support, I would never have been able to get through this difficult phase. To me, Fatima is not just a nurse.
