A patient presented to the hospital with a fracture-dislocation of the ankle. Once it was reduced, Julie learned that the patient's daughter was graduating from Virginia Tech in 2 1/2 hours. Julie set in motion a plan allowing not only the parent to get to graduation, but also to ensure that her pain was limited. Julie borrowed a wheelchair from the hospital volunteers for the patient to take with her to use on campus at Graduation. She also notified the Pharmacy of the extenuating circumstances and asked that they dispense a narcotic pre-pack during local pharmacy business hours, a process normally only used after hours. Julie did not want the patient to get to graduation only to spend the afternoon in a lot of pain. Staff also contacted campus police to seek assistance for the patient and her family. Although they were unable to assist due to the large volume of people on campus, the patient and family appreciated that Julie had tried.
