STAFF SHOUT OUTS

PATIENT LETTER TO STAFF
Good Afternoon, I wanted to send this email to compliment all the nurses and staff on the 5th floor and thank them for being simply wonderful. My husband was admitted through the ER very late Friday night October 15th and was discharged Tuesday afternoon October 19th due to a ruptured appendix. Our entire experience could not have been any better from beginning to end. These days people are so quick to complain but I wanted to make sure that it is known how much we appreciated everything. My sister and brother in law were out of town so the panic I had to think I would have to leave him alone and go home alone (we are one of those crazy married couples that are always together and still like to be) had me terrified. I was allowed to stay with him the whole time…even overnight (I only left 2 times to shower, get food and check on our house) and for that I thank you. One male nurse brought me a blanket and the second full night I brought stuff to make a bed for the floor and a tech saw that and brought me a huge recliner (she rolled it from another area to our room) so I could sleep comfortably. Every single person we crossed paths with those days were top notch, cleaning crew, nutrition, nurses, techs….EVERY SINGLE PERSON. Thank you thank you for making a tough experience a little better.
