Patient comments:
• Nicest people ever. Totally kind and caring. Fantastic job…
• Nurses Lance and Katy went beyond the call of duty in ensuring my health was a priority. Lance, was able to get me hard candy for my diabetes, when my blood sugar was low. He also taught me how to do the manual dialysis. Kathy was my post op nurse. The site of entry was bleeding, Kathy stayed over to ensure someone who come and stop the bleeding. These two should be recognized for a job well done. Thank you both:)
• Loved the care, first time at UAMS as a patient. Eighth floor is top of list, all of the Nurses Was top in my book. I just loved the care I received. They all worked well together, and well with each other. Looked like they WERE handpicked. Thanks UAMS.
• The definition of the word “outstanding” will have to be change. Your staff exceeded at every level.
