Joe is an angel from above and he saved my life. He never gave up on me. He was always there holding my hands. He always made sure I was comfortable. I am a bariatric patient and he never made me feel embarrassed or made me feel 'big'. When I was scared because they were taking the tube out of my throat, he stayed with me, held my hands and caressed my head and kept talking to me. I felt like my mother was present. I cannot express in words what he meant to me. All the nurses are nice, but Joe went above & beyond his duties to take care of me. I first thank God for saving my life and secondly thank Joe because he saved my life too. He never sat down, he was always at my bedside with a comforting smile. I will never forget him. Thanks Joe & thanks Harper for having him here for me!
