"The story of a wonderful lady"

About: Sydney / Sydney Eye Hospital

(as a carer),

As we sat at the eye hospital for 10 hours, we marvelled at this wonderful lady named Irene. At the time we did not know her age. We were amazed at how quick she was at taking care of matters, how wonderful her attitude was towards patients and carers. On numerous occasions, we had noticed she never stands idly by. Upon finding out she was over 70, that made her even more spectacular in our opinion!

Her kindness, assistance and legendary work ethic absolutely amazed us. We certainly hope she is around for many good years. We would love to find out what her secret is to staying young while growing old gracefully, yet we believe this secret will never be shared. She did tell us she really loved her work. 

We believe she should be very proud of what she’s doing and the way in which she does so. In my opinion, if every person had an attitude like this, all workplaces would operate much more efficiently and leave a good lasting impression upon everyone. Although we aren’t saying there are not more staff at the eye hospital who have this attitude, we felt Irene needed to be commended.

Dear SapphireBlue

It is heartwarming to read your detailed feedback and praise of Irene. We love to hear and share stories about how amazing our staff are. We are indeed fortunate to have such caring and dedicated health professionals working within our hospital.

While no thanks are expected, the acknowledgement you have given to Irene is greatly appreciated, and I would like to assure you that your sentiments have been passed onto Irene and her management team.

Kind regards
