On behalf of your patient, Mr. O., thank you for your compassion, passion, and exceptional care. Mr. O. has expressive aphasia due to a recent CVA. He spent 15 "thoughtful" minutes expressing his gratitude for you. Most importantly, he tearfully expressed that you treated him with respect, patience, and that you made a difference for him. (He said going outside was icing on the cake)! On behalf of the Occupational Therapy Department, thank you for exemplifying interdisciplinary teamwork. Thank you for "carrying over" cognitive strategies into your nursing care. We are better together! Thank you! - O.T. Department
