Brianna Maddox, BSN, RN

If not for Brianna my husband would be in very serious trouble-if not even dead. He had been in the ER two times previously, with 3 day stays each. Seven ribs-8 breaks. Both times not treated completely. He had a lung injury-Brianna was the only one listening to lungs and recognized a problem and told us to get to a lung specialist ASAP. By the next day, my husband was in the hospital being seen by a surgeon. The Thoracentesis surgeon later told him only 25% of the lung was not filled with blood (sludge). Brianna is the only one of 4 plus doctors who caught this.
