I think she was the nurse who was my sonographer who did my stress echocardiogram exam. She had really great bedside manner. She seemed like she actually cared about my experience. I told her the hospital robes were too small since I am plus size and they don’t have any large ones for all body sizes (which I recommend they look into) she even found some tape and helped me tape the front so I would not be bare with my breasts hanging out. During the exam she even put a towel on me for modesty. She went the extra step to make sure I was comfortable and that she cared about how I was feeling. She asked how I was doing and was really nice to me during an uncomfortable exam. She was personable and I appreciated that.
