This is the 3rd procedure I have had at Lutheran general and the 2nd time I have spent the night.  From the pre-op staff (Omar); to the OR nurse who kept me calm;  the anesthesia team led by Dr. Shaw; to the recovery area nurse who was so attentive to my needs; and all the amazing nurses and techs on the 8th floor who I enjoyed chatting with. I had a tough time coming out of the nerve block and the nursing team was extremely responsive - holding my hand, talking to me, keeping me calm until the "in-house/on-call" physician  prescribed a med to get me over the hump. So many amazing people who would say that they were just doing their jobs. And they do it every single day. I am extremely grateful to the administrators of this hospital who have gathered such a caring, intelligent, professional group of people who addressed my needs during a stressful time.
