    Very professional, yet understanding! Honest answers!!! Exudes empathy! If she sees a problem, she acts!! I know!! I was at an appointment when I had a weird fast hitting problem! Without delay I found myself being wheeled to emergency. Tests were run and it was called a mini-stroke!! I'm still recovering with lots of support! Her actions made a lot of difference! I am lucky that it happened at a routine appointment with her!!! I just had another appointment with her. She said that she remembers my last appointment! We both looked at each other and then I thanked her again for her training and fast action!! It's been six months and lots of home nurses. I'm still working on hopefully getting back to normal! But her fast actions I'm sure made a difference of what might have been!!! I was lucky that it happened had I the appointment that day with her!!! [NAME REMOVED]
