. She was my calm in the chaos, my strength when I felt vulnerable, and my voice when I struggled to find my own.
From the moment I was admitted to Ward 1, Eunice became more than just a midwife. She was my calm in the chaos, my strength when I felt vulnerable, and my voice when I struggled to find my own. During one of the most overwhelming and emotional moments of my life, she showed unwavering compassion, patience, and professionalism.

I got admitted again and was sent to Ward 3. It was a nightmare. My heart was at peace when I was sent to Ward 1. The ward is full of love and compassion. Eunice was my attending midwife the night I was sent to Ward 1.

I was on IV antibiotics, but I had the cannula taken out prior to being sent to Ward 1 because it had become sore. I came in physically unwell, but my mental health started getting affected during my stay on Ward 3. Eunice came to me and introduced herself, and her care that night made me feel better mentally and physically. She also inserted one of the most painless cannulas I had ever had.

Days later, I was due for a nephrostomy bag change, and I didn't have any bags on me. Queen Elizabeth Hospital was unwilling to come and help with the bag change since they said I wasn't an inpatient in their hospital. I was worried because I had a serious UTI, which was hard to treat, and using one bag for a long time was a contributing factor to worsening my plight.

Eunice made several calls to contact urology across the QE to at least get a bag and get someone who is capable of changing it, all without success. After several hours, she finally got a bag. She had to go across to QE for the bag. They gave her the wrong bag, so she had to go over again for another one.

Since it wasn't her field of expertise, she had to look for someone who knew how to change the bag, because she didn't want to complicate things further for me. The site was sore and very painful, and the tube was dislodged, so she didn't want anyone who didn't know what he or she was doing to touch it.

She got turned down by so many people she asked for help, both in the Trust and the QE, but that didn't stop her. After several hours of trying, she finally found someone. I was very impressed with the length she went to get this done. She still persevered in spite of all the difficulties and rejection, and for that I'm grateful.
