Nina was my current nurse at Northwestern Memorial Hospital ln Chicago, Illinois. She is one of dozens of commited, highly professional caregivers that have treated me with the utmost respect at this hospital in my fight to come back to a complete recovery from a triple bypass and atrial heart valve prosthetic replacement after having a heart attack unexpectedly just after Christmas. She works on the 12th floor of the Galter Building at this medical center, a floor that mostly cares for open heart surgery patients, heart transplant and double lung transplant patients. Covid 19 has made it necessary for many people suffering from this virus to need emergency heart and lung transplants in response to life threatening problems Covid has created.

This medical center employs hundreds of awesome, well trained caregivers that have all been kind, courteous and professional in everything from the surgeon, Duc Thinh Pham, MD, down to mere transport workers that make sure I get to X-ray or Ultrasound Imaging technicians who provide services needed in my treatments.Nina is my current nurse at Northwestern Memorial Hospital ln Chicago, Illinois.
