Alexander has spent a lot of time letting me cry, vent, laugh, and just talk about random things. Bedside manner is not only very caring and respectful but so much deeper.
Alexander is amazing! I was admitted to St. Joe's on Saturday with pain and nausea. Turns out my diagnosis is most likely colon cancer. I am extremely emotional with "just normal life" but this has freaked me out. Alexander deserves Nurse of 2020! I'm not being dramatic. He has spent a lot of time letting me cry, vent, laugh, and just talk about random things. Bedside manner is not only very caring and respectful but so much deeper. He cares about each patient as individuals and stays focused on the patient he's with, all while taking calls from other patients who need him and doctors.
He has kept me from having a mental/emotional breakdown. It really gives me-let me rephrase this. Alexander has restored my faith and hope at a point in my life when I started to doubt. That's a pretty huge impact on someone's life. You can tell he's sincere by his eyes. He is honest and explains everything in detail and always does what he says he is going to do. Yes, I know he has only been with me for 12 hours but I've talked to him more than anyone in the last 12 hours.
I can tell he's a great dad and a wonderful husband. Alexander goes above and beyond the call of duty.
Also, he did two COVID tests, the rapid and 48 hour, perfectly. Thank you.
