Dear Mr. Director,

I would like to thank you for the fantastic healthcare and kind approach of Dr. Fruhauf, the operating room team, and the nurses in the intensive care unit.

On Friday, January 10, I underwent surgery and felt that both in the operating room and in the ICU, I was in the hands of professionals who do their work with genuine interest and perceive the patient in their entirety—that is, the vulnerability of both body and soul.

The caress of the anesthesiologist’s hand in the operating room as he introduced himself, the surgeon’s visit to the ICU, his kind description of the operation to my husband, and then the warm nurses in the ICU, who willingly covered me with a second blanket and offered me excellent coffee in the morning, left a deep impression on me.

Today I had a check-up with my gynecologist and admired the precision of the stitched wounds.

Head Physician, please convey my thanks to your colleagues. It is truly unbelievable how well I feel three days after the removal of my uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.

I wish you good health and many more professional successes.

Marie Dvořáková
