The team was very calm and collected throughout our visit. They showed concern and empathy without it distracting from their work. The team walked us through how to change dressings and it was very hands on. I was able to make input and decisions about what pain meds to give [NAME REMOVED] when and how much. I have actually told many people about how amazing the team was and that, if necessary, I would return to the team.
