Isobel Forrest Case Study

“So very honoured to have had Elaine Carty advocating tirelessly and effectively for midwifery for so many years. Congratulations Elaine!”

Thank you for supporting the plan of Lisa and I making the visit this Tuesday the 7th at noon. Mom was very pleased we were able to meet the family’s needs with such short notice.

Thank you Gwynne and Linda for organizing this awesome group ( you rock! ) and to all the subs who have helped us out over the last 5 years. We appreciate your participation, hoped you enjoyed the evening, and willing to help us out again, if the need arises.

Fellow patients Polly, Cynthia, Lisa, Lisa Cody, Georgina, and Daisy contribute to Susanna’s experiences at McLean as she describes their personal issues and how they come to cope with the time they must spend in the hospital. Susanna also introduces the reader to particular staff members, including Valerie, Dr. Wick and Mrs.

Remembered as an amazing woman, her will and determination were unwavering and she fought her illness with self-respect and strength until her final day. She remained dignified and grateful in the most difficult of circumstances and wanted to thank those who cared for her particularly the staff of ward 32 at Castle Hill Hospital and especially her daughter Lynne, and grandchildren who surrounded her with love and were always there to hold her held.

I visited with David on yesterday. His surgery was successful. He had just been notified by his family that Waunita did not survive. David informed me that he has to undergo extensive therapy, but is expected to return to work and he is anxious to do so.

I did not agree with the verdict in the Stacey Lannert case. I believe Stacey suffered from a traumatic abusive life and her actions resulted from that.

Helen Samuelson who currently resides at Heritage Healthcare in west Lafayette had family, friends and nurses come togerother for a joyful celabration.

I am Savanna Rayer, the school counselor at The Lexington Academy. I have a student named Graham Harris that I would like to recommend to go to your school. He is a very exceptional student that would benefit your school if he were to attend. He is a famous climber who has climbed every mountain he could touch. During one of his climbs a few years back he wanted to climb the south side of Mount Everest. He gathered a few other climbers who were willing and set out to climb. Part of the way through the climb, he fell and ended up with horrible injuries. He had to be airlifted to the hospital and he ended up being paralyzed in one leg. He was also left with a paralyzing fear of climbing again.

Thank you for your text and for directing me to Psalm 103, it is one of my favorites. As far as my health, I have some fairly good days where the pain is controlled with the medication and others that are not, well, not as good. I go for my next five-day treatment next Monday. I was told that patience is required in all of this as full recovery for patients with this condition is slow, but successful in the majority of cases. Carla is doing a little better, but the last bit of the cold is hanging on as colds usually take a week or two to pass. She has to fly out early tomorrow to the Dominican Republic for her work and will be back late the following day. Damaris now has a lady that lives her and is her full-time caregiver. She really likes

James and his wife aren’t so lucky. Mary and Charles both died, just within a few hours of each other. I feel so blessed that I made it here with all my children, and now a new on. Eve is speaking full sentences again. I can tell she is still grieving for her parents, but she is doing well.

Lastly, a very particular thank you is expressed to my mum for her love, support as well as

After seeing several patients the team finally went in to see my eighty-three year old female who was in the hospital after suffering an ischemic stroke. As always I went in prepared: I had read about ischemic strokes, brushed up on my pathophysiology and was ready to make suggestions about what further work-up would be necessary! Our team, which was made up of a pharmacist, social worker, two geriatric fellows, and an attending geriatrician, all filed into the room as we did every day for rounds. However, instead of talking about the tests that we would run today and the lab results that had returned this morning, we all looked at each other and began to sing “Happy Birthday.” The patient’s face lit up and I remember feeling this overwhelming sense of happiness. Yes, I had arrived at the hospital before the sun was up, and tucked in my white coat was my perfectly crafted plan, which I was prepared to recite chapter and verse, but instead there we were a team of healthcare professionals, all singing. As I stood there singing I looked around the room and I was overcome with relief; because in that moment I knew these were the type of people I wanted to sit with at the lunch

Whilst on my community placement for one of my initial spokes, I arranged to spend the morning with the district nurse on her rounds, to gain an insight into her role within the community and find out first hand exactly what her job entails.

First, the staff and patients at Life Care were beyond welcoming and incredibly kind. I had the pleasure of visiting a patient named Ellen; she is unable to walk or get out of bed but her spirits light up the room. Ellen and I share the love of Christmas time, good music, and rainy days. One evening, I got to meet one of Ellen’s daughters whom was just as kind as Ellen, and it warmed my heart to know that Ellen had so much love surrounding her.
