THUMBS UP to Candy the wardie I met while visiting my Nan in the intensive care ward at Dubbo Hospital. She is the first woman I’ve seen doing that job, and she was so amazing. My Nan was not aware or awake but Candy talked to her gently like she was, telling Nan every little step when tending to her. I had not seen this before and it was really touching. I watched Candy run around the ward for hours and no request was a problem for her. It was such a busy night I don’t think I saw anyone have a break. It puts me at ease going home knowing people like that are looking after my Nan. I did not catch Candy’s last name, but imagine it was sweet.
