When George came back last year and spoke to us and thanked us all, it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my professional life. he spoke with such gratitude towards all of the care givers that it was heartwarming because we don’t see such gratitude often, not to mention the fact that this was in the middle of one of the toughest stretches during the Covid pandemic that his kind and generous words lifted the morale of all of us who were there in that auditorium and who were really struggling for many reasons due to the pandemic. He was funny and utterly honest. He took time to individually mention all the nurses and doctors which meant a lot of us all. I am very happy that he is doing so well and it will always be a pleasure to know that I was involved in his care.

The most gratifying thing about taking care of very sick patients is seeing them get better and return to enjoying life and doing what they want to do. Often times, as people who only work in intensive care units, we never see what happens to patients after we transfer them to the regular hospital floors or to rehab. That’s why it’s so special to have patients like George come back to visit us. It reminds us that what we do makes a difference and that with the right physical and emotional support, along with perseverance, patience, and an occasional kick in the butt, patients on death’s doorstep can get better.

You came when we were running on fumes. Seeing you do so well both physically and mentally filled my tank and then some. When everything seems to be fighting against us, there can be hope that what we do truly has a positive impact on not just your life but the lives of everyone you touch.

We work so intensely to help patients and their recovery it was so rewarding hearing you speak and know our efforts mean something when someone who went through so much, is doing so well.

Hearing about how you understood in such a heartfelt manner that we gave you the best care we could was so rewarding and professionally fulfilling. Seeing somebody that is healthy and taking care of themselves, makes all of our efforts of care worth the hard work. Knowing that you know that I truly did care about you, and that I am sorry for the days we were spread so thin that I was unable to provide the care to you that I wanted.
