A patient was being discharged. As this patient was admitted as a trauma, pedestrian hit by a motor vehicle, his clothing was cut off. At discharge, Michelle realized he had no clothing to wear. She went to Target and purchased underwear, socks, sweat pants and a shirt for him to wear. She paid for this out of her own pocket as the patient didn't have much family involvement.
