My precious husband S came into the ICU because he could not breathe. He had the flu and has heart problems. My husband was on the ventilator and did not know what was happening. He was fighting to speak and looking to me for answers to what was happening. I was extremely afraid and couldn't help him. Othon went to him, spoke his name with clear strength, and S opened his eyes and listened. Othon said that the ventilator would help his lungs rest and heal, and S nodded. Seeing S respond and relax after Othon spoke so assuredly to him meant the world to me and my son. We were both so impressed by his attentiveness and attention to every detail. He made sure my husband was included in the conversations. My husband is a strong man, and in my eyes, a great man. Seeing him treated with dignity and respect was priceless and often rare in health care. We nominate Othon for the DAISY Award for his excellence in care, treatment, and kindness.
