Archie Antonio paid attention! She reported an abnormal subtle finding to me on a patient that was ultimately very serious, an infected right eye. I got ophthalmologic consult right away and the patient was then urgently transferred to UMDNJ for an eye surgery procedure. There was no unit secretary on that evening, and she facilitated the chart copying, transfer paperwork, everything. She may have saved his vision.
