After one of my procedures, I saw her in a hallway. She stopped to make sure I was doing OK.
Christine spoke to me like an old friend and made me feel like I was being treated by family. She told me things I didn’t necessarily want to hear but needed to hear to make me understand my treatment plan. I wasn’t pleased when it came to the repeated tests and not being able to eat or drink but she helped me make the best of it. After one of my procedures, I saw her in a hallway. She stopped to make sure I was doing OK. She didn’t have to do that; she could have walked by without me even noticing her. Knowing that she took the time to stop, and chat is what made me remember her the most.
