The family’s description of Mike as they were impressed and overwhelmed with his:
Kindness;
Accommodation to our family during time of stress;
Unobtrusive attention to his professional responsibilities;
Repeated efforts to insure all family members received full information and explanation of the medical situation and treatments;
Care as he interacted directly and personally with mom, his patient, in the midst of so much activity;
Willingness to remain after his end of shift in order to finish his duties due to the time spent with family members;
“He deserves the highest praise and commendation. Mike made a very difficult time much easier and created in my mind the model of nursing care.”
