My Caring Care Givers

The people here have really gone out of their way to ensure that I have been well cared for. All the doctors are amazing. Dr. S admitted me and has been keeping a close eye on everything. He has done most of my ultrasounds himself and has always taken the time to explain everything to me and made sure I understood what was going on, who was of what opinion and what the different opinions where. He has helped us to understand the benefits and the risks of everything and has been a calming and reassuring presence. Professor S and Professor G head the department. They have both been very caring and have made efforts to bring in all the specialists who are involved with my case and make sure that I am receiving top notch care.  Dr. Y saw me several times in the ER and has also been involved in my care now. Like Dr. S she has taken the time to explain many things and has really been an amazing doctor. Dr. T first did the ultrasound that diagnosed most of the problems. He also happens to work in the hospital and has made it a point to be involved in my care and follow up with the many parties involved. Dr. C is the resident in charge every day.  He has helped to explain when the doctors disagreed and has worked to try to keep me more comfortable on a day to day basis.

There are a few doctors in the ultrasound department who have really helped us also. Dr. R is the head of the department and Dr. M one of the staff doctors have both been very helpful.

There are many nurses who have been amazing. I’m afraid if I try to list them all I would forget someone. One of my favorite nurses in Nurse J. She has been a big help and a good friend. Dov always feels good when she is on shift because he says he knows I am in good hands.

There are a few national service girls, nurses’ assistants, and orderlies who have also been great. Among them are M and L who have both made it a point to come and talk to me and get to know me. R, a recent immigrant from France has especially become a friend. She stops by just to talk sometimes.  Z has fussed over me for a while now.

M and F are the two women who clean on our ward. They are both very nice. M always says good morning and talks to me a little. She has been telling me stories about her nephew who was a preemie 30 years ago and how he B”H (Thank G-d) survived and is doing well.

I have a lot of gratitude for all of these people and more who have thus far gone above and beyond to not only take care of me but to also make me feel taken care of.
