"We want to thank the incredible orthopedic staff who
helped and mentored us with everything, and showed
such tremendous love and patience to our dear son –
as if he was one of their own."
Malki Family, from a village near Beer-Sheva
"I thought things like this only happened in movies.
Yesterday, I was at Soroka with my young daughter.
I witnessed the work of the entire staff with the
Israel Defense Forces soldiers – the compassion, the
professionalism, and the commitment they showed
despite the extremely difficult situation. I never once
saw a doctor or nurse stop to eat, drink, or take a break.
They were thoroughly involved in doing everything
required for the injured. As a mother of two soldiers, I
just feel like giving you a hug and telling you how much
I value your work. There’s nobody like you!"
Biton Family, Beer-Sheva
"They saved my life. They took good care of me.
I didn’t feel like I was in a hospital. I felt supported,
that I was given love and care."
Efrat, age 10, Beer-Sheva
"There are times in life when one phone call turns
your life upside down. This happened to me when
I woke up one morning with a message from my
sister that our dad was in the ICU at Soroka. Two
weeks later, I entered the ICU and saw my dad
fighting for his life with one of the viruses that you
never think can hit so closely and so deeply.
Those were days with no hope. But in such times,
you meet extraordinary people who will go beyond
themselves to fight for a patient’s life and do the
impossible to bring patients back to life and cure
them of diseases that seem to be incurable. I’ve
seen those doctors, nurses, and other personnel
being not only exceptional professionals, but also
extraordinary human beings.
You have the best unit in the world. Every nurse
has such a high appreciation of doctors and other
nurses and I don’t think you can find other unit like
this anywhere."
Family from Australia
