We came into the clinic exhausted, mentally shot, and unaware of what to do next. Sophia took the time to listen, to talk to us and give us incredible advice in our time of need. She didn't have to, but she did it anyway. She regularly checked on us, offering us food and drinks and blankets, and just to talk. All whilst being pregnant! Pregnant and working in a hospital during the time of COVID-19. In my humble opinion, she exemplifies everything great about nurses. She should be lauded and praised and held up as the moral exemplar for all nursekind. Her kindness, her manner, her grace, and efficiency all shine bright in these darkest of hours. Thank you, Sophia! You're one in a million.
