Mimi (Meskeram) Johnson, RN

Mimi was comforting the patient when she noticed a large lump in the patient’s throat (hard to see due to the patient's low weight). She called the physician to come take a look, and the physician was able to see it once the patient was repositioned.

A goiter was identified in the thyroid, which potentially led to several miscarriages. The physician stated that if the patient had been sent home, she could have died. Mimi provided a great assessment and communication, which saved a life!
