As an overall healthy individual, I recently had an overwhelming experience of being diagnosed with SCAD. The new diagnosis came as a result of an assessment in an Emergency Room, followed by an air ambulance ride to Southdale for an emergency angiogram and an inpatient stay. You'd probably think this would be the reason for this nomination as I had lots of interactions which were extraordinary. This nomination is, however, about an episode of care that is even more scary as a result of some medication management for continued chest pain. At the direction of the cardiology team, I was to start IMDur. I had taken a dose upon arrival to work and approximately 3 hours later, I experienced nausea, felt overheated and dizzy. I was on my way to a very significant drop in my blood pressure. At the time of my reaction, I was in a meeting where Liz Asanovich and other leaders were in attendance. When I expressed how I was feeling and laid my head on the table, it was Liz Asanovich’s voice that was with me inside the conference room, in the hallway where I fainted, and in the ED. I recall her giving direction to the other leaders in the room, being the soothing voice in my ear, the warm touch to my shoulder or hand. She was invested in my care. Liz was continually reassessing me, asking me questions to judge my condition, and know what I needed. Her voice was reassuring with words like...“you’re in good hands”. Her voice helped reduce a very anxious time as I couldn't control my body and was scared. She said things like... “we’re doing this because…”, “can I call someone for you”, “you’re body is shaking or may feel like xxx, don’t worry, we have you”, etc. When I got to the trauma room, Liz was giving information to the team, giving direction and all the while staying connected to me by talking to me about what was happening around me and to me. Liz is the Emergency Room Manager but she is a nurse/patient care giver at heart and to her core. I'm so thankful she took charge in the unknown, made assessments, led the team in my care, explained things to me, and always tried to raise my spirits. She was my rock in a scary time.
