I was transported to the hospital via ambulance from a convention. I was having symptoms of a stroke and was extremely frightened. I live in Delaware, so this was 8 hours and nearly 500 miles from home.
I am retired from geriatric nursing. Savannah exhibits the skills and standards that are so often lacking in the medical field today. Not just with me but with the other patient I observed her interact with that evening. During the evaluation, Savannah was patient and kind. She showed honest compassion for the struggles I was experiencing. She answered my husband's questions as well and assisted when he requested water and a blanket with a smile and a very pleasant attitude.
