June 2026 Honoree
Angela Dawa Sherpa, BSc Nurse
I visited the hospital today for a daily dressing change and packing of a pilonidal abscess that was drained last week. Because of the wound's location, I felt highly anxious about the anticipated pain and vulnerability of the procedure. However, Nurse Angela immediately put me at ease with her calm, respectful, and dignified approach.
Her exceptional skill and gentle touch made the packing process virtually painless. Throughout the treatment, she coached my breathing and ensured my comfort, making me feel safe and supported. Furthermore, her clinical expertise was evident when she strategically placed the dressing to protect the wound from sweat and movement in that specific anatomical area.
As a physician myself, I can verify that her aseptic technique and clinical skills were exemplary. She is an asset to the medical field, and she transformed a dreaded procedure into a deeply reassuring experience through her profound empathy and professionalism.
