\u00c9 por isso que a fam\u00edlia Malcolmson estar\u00e1 sempre grata a Samantha Rodrigues, RN, uma enfermeira de cuidados intensivos na Hospital St. Luke's<\/a> Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos, que prestou informa\u00e7\u00f5es e conforto nos momentos mais dif\u00edceis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"O meu pai estava na UCI e n\u00e3o faz\u00edamos ideia do que se estava a passar\", disse Rick Malcolmson. \"A Samantha come\u00e7ou a falar connosco e deu-nos todas as informa\u00e7\u00f5es. Faz-nos sentir muito melhor ter algu\u00e9m com quem falar e que sabe o que est\u00e1 a acontecer.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O pai de Rick, Robert, trabalhou durante 50 anos como distribuidor de bebidas e, na reforma, viveu primeiro em Cape Cod e depois em Dartmouth. Rick disse que o seu pai gostava de jogar golfe, \"conversar\" e conhecer os m\u00fasicos que se re\u00fanem na casa de Rick em Westport. Ele e a sua mulher, Diane, convidam artistas locais para tocarem em sess\u00f5es \u00edntimas, apenas com donativos, a que chamam Log Cabin Concerts, na sua cave, com acabamentos semelhantes aos de um pequeno pub irland\u00eas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ele era o maior f\u00e3 deles\", disse Rick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mas, nos \u00faltimos anos, Robert tinha sofrido de insufici\u00eancia renal e dependeu de di\u00e1lise durante dois anos antes de \"bater num muro\" por volta do Natal de 2023, disse Rick. Tornou-se ap\u00e1tico, comia pouco e quase n\u00e3o falava. Em mar\u00e7o de 2024, caiu durante uma sess\u00e3o de di\u00e1lise e foi transportado de ambul\u00e2ncia para a UCI do St.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nessa altura, o progn\u00f3stico de Robert e a sua qualidade de vida eram ambos maus. A sua mulher, Carol, e os seus filhos, Rick e David, tomaram em conjunto a dif\u00edcil decis\u00e3o de retirar Robert da di\u00e1lise. Durante as longas estadias na UCI, Samantha mandava levar caf\u00e9 e bolachas \u00e0 fam\u00edlia. E providenciou uma inje\u00e7\u00e3o de morfina para que Robert se sentisse mais confort\u00e1vel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rick deu o seu n\u00famero a Samantha para a alertar para qualquer altera\u00e7\u00e3o no estado do seu pai. Ela certificou-se de que as outras enfermeiras de servi\u00e7o tamb\u00e9m tinham o seu n\u00famero e, \u00e0 1h30 da manh\u00e3 do dia 22 de mar\u00e7o, Rick recebeu a chamada a informar que o seu pai tinha morrido, quase exatamente uma semana depois de ter entrado no St. Luke's. Ele tinha 87 anos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fic\u00e1mos contentes por ele n\u00e3o se ter demorado\", disse Rick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ap\u00f3s a morte de Robert, a fam\u00edlia encontrou escritos que lhes trouxeram conforto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ele escreveu que n\u00e3o dev\u00edamos ficar tristes por ele quando morresse\", disse Rick. \"Mesmo no fim, ele acreditava que tinha tido uma boa vida.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O Rick e a sua fam\u00edlia ficaram t\u00e3o gratos pelos cuidados compassivos e pela aten\u00e7\u00e3o da Samantha que a nomearam para um Pr\u00e9mio DAISY<\/a>que reconhece e homenageia enfermeiras extraordin\u00e1rias que prestam cuidados compassivos em regime de internamento nos nossos tr\u00eas hospitais, e fez um donativo em seu nome \u00e0 Southcoast Health atrav\u00e9s do programa Grateful Patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Como algu\u00e9m que veio para esta \u00e1rea depois de viver em Stoughton e Foxborough, Rick est\u00e1 satisfeito por saber que ele e a sua fam\u00edlia podem contar com excelentes cuidados perto de casa no Southcoast Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A Samantha podia ter passado por n\u00f3s, mas parou e falou connosco e manteve-nos informados\", disse Rick. \"Numa altura muito, muito dif\u00edcil, ela foi muito reconfortante.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
