Tiffany found Thrush in my throat that had been missed by several others. This may not sound like much but I was so sick that I lost my voice. Her diagnosis meant the world to me. She helped get the medication started to fix my voice. I was very sick and suffer from stage 4 lung cancer. I was admitted that day for Pneumonia. That is when I met Tiffany. Well, this old man became very emotional and broke down and cried. She held me as I cried. This was such an emotionally moving experience for me. She deserves the DAISY Award for going above and beyond her duties as a nurse.
