I have known Emily Benoit since 2003. She has not only been my nurse, but she has also been a friend. She has taught me so much about being a patient dealing with daily pain issues. She has also given her free time to teach me ways to cope with my pain, and she also spends a great amount of time working on my legs. Emily has been with me for a long time, and she has shown me what a great nurse is. Emily has shown me patience, caring, and understanding. She gave me hope that my legs would get better, and she worked many hours cleaning them, putting lotion on them, and wrapping them with special wraps. Emily always listens to my opinion and uses my input.
