Helped me through a horrible procedure

Story from nhs.uk

"Helped me through a horrible procedure"

About: Manchester Royal Infirmary

Filled with nerves of my upcoming operation on my heart, I was very scared. As soon as I came onto the ward, the nurses made themselves known to me and I instantly felt more comfortable. During my electro-physiology study, even with sedation I was very anxious - perhaps even terrified. I asked the nurse if they could hold my hand, and they did without hesitation. The nurse talked me through the operation. The nurses really did make a difference for me. I will try very hard to get them the praise they deserve! They were cardiologist nurses.
