My 80-year-old uncle fell down the stairs in North Pole just 3 hours after he arrived for a visit from Oregon. He was medivaced to Providence with an injury to the skull. After almost two weeks in ACC he was transferred to the 4th floor when it became apparent that it was his wish that no life support or resuscitation was wanted. He was taken off everything and went to comfort only measures. Angel was his nurse and she lives up to her name. She was very compassionate and worked to make my Uncle as comfortable as possible. Her touch and her smile were welcome and although my Uncle was not focused or maybe not aware, she had a calming effect. Every single person was wonderful to us and most importantly to my Uncle, but Angel is truly a wonderful nurse. Thanks Angel!
