A doctor who not only looks but also sees things, things that not everyone sees … Orly was a little doctor who people found it difficult to believe she was indeed the department’s doctor. So small, looks like a child … Their fears faded away when they entered her room, spoke to her and then they admired her, wanted her only and trusted her … Orly received more letters of thanks and appreciation than anyone else in the hospital facility, The military. She was the Lev, who treated the soldier as a man, not as an individual in the system … “” In her work she was serious, diligent, meticulous … but above all she was humane. As a person I knew other aspects: a childish side, full of bitterHappy. She was a caring, sweet person. Orly radiated optimism that penetrated the hearts of many patients who thought that their world had been destroyed because of their illness and that they had dealt with their condition … Orly was always there for us, whether to encourage, support, cure, joke, tease and console … We remained a ship without her mast That she will never be the same again as she used to be … “” Orly was a character who had a great influence on my life, and her memory would continue to influence … She was an excellent and devoted doctor, but I will always remember the person she was, “I saw her as a doctor – a small, blonde, smiling fairy …” “I’ve always seen the endless energy The heat, the smile did not come off, readiness to help uncompromising love for radiation and simply do not understand where all this came from.
