Douglas was my nurse at banner.I remember him because he was so kind and caring when he was treating me as a patient. I remember I was so scared about being put on life support and he looked me in the eyes and told me everything will be ok and I will be ok and then he told me this has to be done to save your life and he assisted putting me on life support he was very comforting.I will always remember him and what he did for me .He was a amazing man.
