A medical staffer arranging a phone call sounds like a small thing but a daughter, a nurse herself in another city, believes it made a difference in her father’s recuperation. Simple acts from hospital staff are giving hope to patients and their families.
In this March 2020 photo provided by Inova Fairfax Hospital, a nurse at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Va., plays a game of tic-tac-toe with a patient who is in isolation due to COVID-19. In a time of anxiety and isolation, simple acts of kindness from hospital workers are giving comfort to patients and their families.
In another hospital, a guitar-playing nurse sings ‘’Amazing Grace” outside patients’ rooms. And in another, doctors show smiling photos of themselves so COVID-19 patients can see the faces behind the masks. That phone call arranged by a nurse at a St. Louis-area hospital let Erin Muth talk to her dad, Steve Blaha, for the first time in six days and just hours after doctors revived him when his heart stopped beating.
Blaha, a machinist, turned 65 the next day, March 28, and though he remained sedated, Erin and her mom wished him happy birthday in a nurse-arranged video call.
