In addition to her many nursing skills and the compassion she shows for all of her patients, Aleksandra also possesses a special understanding of the personal needs and concerns of patients who have situations and issues resulting from previous injuries or surgeries. I am so grateful to have benefitted from her special gift, which eased what would otherwise have been an embarrassing and uncomfortable issue for me. To say that her care was merely "comforting" would be a gross understatement.
