Nurse Callie quite literally saved my life!!! I was admitted with a UTI that turned into sepsis and was being treated for that. Nurse Callie was one of the many wonderful nurses I experienced during my 6-day stay. She is so cheerful, caring, and positive!! I had transitioned from IV to oral antibiotics and we were discussing possible discharge on Friday when Callie decided to check my vitals…even though I wasn’t scheduled for another vitals check for several hours (and possibly not at all before discharge). She said something just told her to check them. When she checked my heart with her stethoscope, she looked at me with concerned eyes and said “J, are you feeling ok?” I said yes. “No chest pain or fluttering or shortness of breath?” I said no….nothing at all. She had me lie down in my bed (I had just finished lunch and was sitting in the chair)…and I could see her concern growing. She called in another nurse at some point. And soon there was a stat EKG on the way. My heart rate was in the 140s (I think…it was way too high) and it turned out I was in Afib. Seems as though my blood infection affected my heart. I had no symptoms whatsoever. If it weren’t for Callie listening to a nudge…I quite possibly could have been sent home in Afib and who knows what would have happened… stroke, etc. Callie listened to her instincts and discovered my condition while I was still admitted, which is right where I needed to be for treatment! She is a blessing and I truly believe she saved my life that afternoon!!! I am so thankful for her and that she listened to that still, small voice that was telling her to check my vitals. I would love for her to be recognized for this!
