Recently we had a patient that was a newly diagnosed cancer patient. The patient himself was young and had younger children. The patient was going to be staying with us over Halloween to start his chemotherapy. Megan knew that the boys and parents would not be able to go out Trick-or-Treating, so Megan went out on her own and got the boys Halloween baskets. Needless to say, this meant the world to both the patient and his children, so much so it was mentioned during the discharge phone call.
The patient himself was a true fan of Chuck Norris and he adopted his attitude to deal with his diagnosis and treatment. The patient often stated he was going to go all Chuck Norris on his cancer. Knowing this and to provide added motivation and support, Megan printed out pictures of Chuck Norris to hang in his room during treatment to remind him. This is only one small gesture of Megan's compassion.
Megan is always going above and beyond with her patients and their families. Whenever Megan is here, I know that her patients are going to get 110%; she has genuine compassion that cannot be taught. Megan is an amazing nurse and an asset to 4A and Bayhealth.
