Later, Ashley visited the operating room viewing area, where she watched a surgery through a glass window. The surgeons were wearing gloves and using a respirator to assist the patient’s breathing. Ashley was amazed by the precision and skill of the medical team.

Before leaving, Ashley’s grandmother was given a prescription and instructions for follow-up care. The nurse provided a bedpan and a bed table for her comfort. Ashley thanked the doctor and nurse for their excellent care.
