He took the time to walk over to my unit to evaluate my arm. He advised me to call my MD and assisted me in contacting him. I was admitted later that night with a diagnosis of a blood clot. Dan was very encouraging and supportive – without him I might not have been evaluated and treated for the clot as quickly as I did.

Sometimes nurses make lousy patients, but they make the best of friends. With much gratitude.
