One day while triaging patients, a questionable case presented itself which aroused Anna's suspicions. A young boy came in for what seemed like an ordinary knee injury from a fall. However, conflicting stories surrounding the circumstances of the injury by the boy and the father and the child's apparent anxiety around his father alerted Anna that something was amiss. In addition, areas of old bruising were noted on the boy's body. Immediately, Anna's instincts as both a competent and caring nurse as well as a mother of two young children alerted her to the signs of potential child abuse. Despite resistance from other medical professionals to further investigate, Anna held strong to her conviction that there was more to the story. The subsequent revelation of an excess of 26 fractures at various stages of healing reaffirmed what she suspected. Anna's direct actions resulted in securing the safety and well being of a child and possibly the saving of his life. Anna serves as a powerful reminder of the reason we are all nurses!
