On a particularly challenging day during my seven-week stay in the hospital, I fainted and fell to the floor, triggering an emergency response from the team. Maryam Hussain was my designated nurse that day, and her unwavering support during this distressing moment made all the difference. As I lay on the floor, feeling anxious and unable to move my left leg, I was surrounded by various staff members discussing my condition in medical terminology that felt overwhelming. Maryam stood out as a beacon of clarity and compassion. She took the time to explain everything in a way I could understand, which alleviated my fears and helped me feel more in control of the situation. Her ability to communicate effectively while ensuring I felt heard demonstrated her competence and commitment to patient care. Throughout this ordeal, Maryam consistently prioritized my dignity. While I was vulnerable in my night dress, she ensured I was covered, showing genuine care for my comfort. She wiped away my tears, reassured me with her calming presence, and kept me hydrated when I could not move. Her attentiveness to my needs extended beyond the physical; she assisted me when I needed to use the bathroom and provided understanding about what had happened and the steps moving forward. Maryam could see the anxiety taking over me, and she did everything in her power to reassure me. In that moment, I felt incredibly safe in her care. Maryam’s courage and compassion shone through, and her dedication to her role as a nurse was evident in every action she took. She embodies the qualities of care, compassion, competence, communication, courage, and commitment. I am grateful for her support during such a difficult day.
