After having you for my transplant coordinator for the past year I was really disheartened to hear that you are leaving the transplant team. I understand the need for change, and I certainly understand your desire to do something different and something that you've wanted to do for a long time. I think you will do an outstanding job in newborn pediatrics.
I just wanted to say that I appreciate all that you've done for me over the past year. Every time I've had any questions, you have done what you can to answer them. Even if it took you a day because you were very busy, you have always managed to get back to me and not leave me hanging. Whenever I was going through a panic attack, you were always able to calm me down and assure me that nothing was wrong. You have always been able to assess the situation and explain to me that it was just a new symptom of the disease that was presenting and, if needed, you had the doctor call me right away. Which, incidentally, has happened more than once. Generally things were resolved with new medication and life continued on.
I have always appreciated the fact that when my wife and I had appointments, you always treated me with genuine respect. I have literally had consultations where the doctor or nurse chose to talk to my wife and not even look me in the eye, for whatever reasons they had. Apparently some people assume that because I'm sick, then perhaps I might not be able to understand them. Sometimes it has been necessary to say, "Yoohoo...eyes over here." That is a discourtesy that you have never inflicted on me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Anyway, everything that you have done for me (us) has been greatly appreciated and Lois and I are going to miss you. On a professional level, you have done a great job and on a personal level you have been a good friend. We will miss that.
I am guessing that you have many patients pre- and post-op who will be very sad and shaken to see you go. I can only imagine that this will be hard for some of them (not to make you feel bad). But I think I can safely say that a lot of us are going to miss you.
Sincerely, Lois and Beaux (this is Beaux, by the way)
Oh yeah...and don't be a stranger. Drop us a line sometime.
