My dad was admitted to the hospital and it was soon discovered he had lung and bone cancer and rapidly declining in health. The family realized he would not want to endure the hardship of chemo and his doctor confirmed he would not survive. He was moved to the surgical unit where my dad had several very qualified and compassionate nurses. However, Jo stands out above them all. She was on duty the day my dad passed away. Throughout her shift, she always made sure his meds were on time and she stayed with him until he passed.
