Yvonne Quidilla, a Kaiser nurse in Honolulu, turned a corner of a hospital stay into a shampoo station, Hawaii News Now reported. Her patient was a 15-year-old hula dancer recovering from pneumonia. Quidilla washed the teen's hair there, and she came back on days she was not scheduled to work.
The station's story is that makeshift salon and the visits that followed. It describes one nurse and one patient, and a bond that grew from ordinary care done with extra attention. It does not describe a medical outcome beyond the recovery already underway.
