My mom was a patient and upon discharge, her doctor explained that she would be on an antibiotic for several more days and would send the antibiotic to the assisted living facility. Her nurse handed me an envelope, which I assumed had the antibiotic prescription and we left. Once we arrived at the assisted living facility, I handed the packet to the staff.
My mom's doctor called me that evening to tell me that SMHC had forgotten to include the prescription in the packet and that one of the nurses offered to run over several doses of the antibiotic to the rehab facility until they could have it filled the following Monday.
My mom was admitted again recently and her physician told me who the nurse was who did this extraordinary thing for my mom. She did not know my mother nor was she her nurse at the time, but she knew how important it was that my mom had her antibiotic. I have had several interactions with Christina and her obvious compassion always stands out. She is a remarkable nurse.
