I was stranded at home with no way to the hospital, Julie actually came and picked me up and brought me in!
I work in the service industry (Law Enforcement) and I always tell my peers to take care of our medical staff as they may be taking care of one of us one day too! I went to the ED after developing a bad headache and vision loss that had gotten worse over the days prior. Julie, even prior to being my nurse, would come to my room and check in on me. Long story short, I was transferred to another hospital in the System as the doctors thought I was having/had a stroke. Julie continued to stay in contact. I was released and then ended up back in the ED two days later as things had not improved and had gotten worse again. On my third time back to ED a week later, I was stranded at home with no way to the hospital, Julie actually came and picked me up and brought me in! I am so grateful that she was able to get me there and she continued to check up on me, as she was genuinely concerned, and that is AMAZING care. Due to her resiliency, care, and compassion, and going above and beyond, she made a very scary situation easier to deal with. I am forever grateful!
