Grace kept everyone calm while calling for the rapid response team.
My husband had major surgery and was transferred from CCU to the cardiac unit. After an attempt to get a scan, he was in significant pain and became unstable. Grace kept everyone calm while calling for the rapid response team. During the chaos of the rapid response situation, with numerous medical professionals assessing simultaneously, Grace handled everything with care and efficiency, even making notes on her arm as she pivoted from one order to the next without missing a beat. Her efforts were reassuring and comforting. She stayed with him until he was transferred back to the care of the CCU team. Even afterwards, we had forgotten our phone charger in the room. By the time they got my husband settled into his CCU room, Grace had delivered the charger, so it was in the room and waiting for us. I believe all things happen for a reason, and now I understand why she was given her name, Grace.
