Augustine Dimayacyac. Teresita Parrocha. Two of the nicest women you would ever hope to run across in your life. They're sisters. They're twins. And they're rather remarkable nurses at Clovis Community Medical Center. Augustine is pre-op, Teresita is post-op. They both work directly with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Peter Simonian.... team members, as it were. CG has undergone two knee surgeries in the last 10 months and in both cases, he had Augustine and Parrocha taking care of him. In this three-part conversation the ladies explain growing up twins, deciding on being nurses, the journey to North America and how they do what they do... and why. As CG will readily tell you, nurses are angels in scrubs. Augustine and Teresita personify it. 

More with Augustine and Teresita, two wonderful nurses at Clovis Community Medical Center who also happened to be sisters and... twins! Their journey from the Philippines to North America, ultimately landing in Clovis, is fascinating to say the least.
