A private patient of Dr. A presented with severe symptoms. The patient was 32 weeks and going into respiratory arrest. The patient was extremely difficult to treat and stabilize and ended up in the ICU. Dr. A wrote:

"Angela recognized the urgency of the situation, contacted me appropriately and remained calm even though I was barking out orders left and right - changing orders as patient and her husband allowed and never once did she complain, criticize, or lose her professionalism. She helped me save this patient and without her dedication to help me treat this patient, there would have been a very different outcome."
