This window has been the most impactful window in my life.

I watched you work hard to keep me and others alive, unable to thank you for the time that you poured into me. Although I will probably never get the chance to pour that same love and support into you, I want you to know that I think you all are rock stars. I watched some of you have good nights and some bad nights, but what was consistent every night was that you care for people. Today I leave this ICU a changed person, hopefully for the better, not only because of your medical healing and God’s direction and guidance, but with the fact of knowing that there are such wonderful people dedicated to the care and concern of others. God bless each of you. 

 

Nic Brown was one of the first patients with COVID-19 treated at Cleveland Clinic. He left this message for caregivers on the window of his room in the Medical Intensive Care Unit.
