Jessika let this family borrow her OWN CAR without hesitation.
Jessika had a patient that needed to be transferred to another hospital for emergency dental surgery that was time sensitive for the survival of her teeth. This patient's husband was in the room with their two kids and had just wrecked their car. The patient could have been transferred to the hospital via ambulance, but the husband and the two kids would have been left behind with no transportation due to their car accident. Jessika let this family borrow her OWN CAR without hesitation. Not only did they get to their destination, but the whole family had a way to get there without any extra stress added to their day. I don't know any other nurse who would willingly give their car to borrow to a stranger in need.
