Transcript

Uh, my name is Ricardo Arenas. I'm a registered nurse and I work here at the critical care unit. Ricardo, I've got something to show you, OK.

Hi, my name is Taylor and I was a patient of Ricardo. Come here, come say hi. Ricardo pops out because he was one of the first people that I remember once I woke up, so I was really disoriented.

I remember him though, and he was able to get me to laugh, and right off the bat I was like, oh, I feel like I was talking to a friend or someone that I knew. I could just feel like. His presence and his care.

It was a lasting impact I'd say. Ricardo, I just want you to know that your impact, um, Did you think I'd get emotional. was uh something I'll never forget. Thank you for being you.

Oh It feels awesome, to be honest, like seeing them, uh, from when they first roll in the ICU I almost see it like, like, like a mission. Like, I'm gonna do my best to um get back to at least as closest to 100%. And if we achieve that, it's like the best feeling in the world, like Taylor, like, he wasn't able to talk at the time before I knew it, um, he was no longer in the ICU.

So hearing him talk is like, you don't imagine how they sound, you just see them and then when you hear them talk, it's, it's amazing.
