"An incredible nurse"

About: University Hospital Monklands / Clinical Haematology (Ward 16)

(as the patient),

I would like to express an extremely grateful thank you to clinical specialist nurse Emma from the haematology team.

Emma has taken so much time and care over me recently due being under immense stress about having my bone marrow test carried out. This is a crucial part of my journey and treatment but is something I find very distressing.

I've had a few now and I can honestly say that Emma carrying it out was such a positive experience and I'm so amazed and how she managed to keep me calm and perform this procedure making me total pain free. She has had a plan for weeks and has spent so much time making me feel as comfortable as possible. Her care and support really has been wonderful.

Emma truly is a special nurse and I will be forever grateful to the care she has shown me at a very vulnerable and uncertain time in my life. Emma, you're one incredible nurse and should be so proud of the work you do.

Thank You so much once again.
