February, 2024 - GHHS Gold Humanism Honor Society Student of the Month is Nicholas “Nick” O’Connor, MSIV!

Nicholas’ commitment to patient care and humanism is exemplified through his daily patient interactions and kind demeanor. While on Internal Medicine, Nick noticed that a patient with extensive burns had not been eating his food. When the patient confided in Nick that he was having trouble eating, Nick began to stay with the patient during meals and assisted him in cutting up his food. On another occasion, Nick helped a patient who had recently suffered a stroke and was rendered aphasic to contact her family. Nicholas helped locate her family members and reunited the family in the hospital. Furthermore, he went out of his way to find communication cards for the patient to ensure she could communicate with her family and healthcare team; taking time outside of his clinical duties to tend to their needs. Nicholas’s caring spirit and desire to meet patients’ emotional and physical needs to aid in their recovery serves as a great example of humanism in medicine!
