Everyone has a favorite Sabrina story. It might be the one about her doing skin to skin with a baby in the elevator accompanied by the NICU team. Or it could be the one where she told a mom to get up off the toilet, and she found a baby looking up at her from the water. Or the one where she came into your room prepared for a delivery that was nowhere close to happening. My new favorite Sabrina story is when she somehow got the entire unit to play the alphabet game. She was caring for a patient who had a unique set of cognitive challenges and was easily overwhelmed. Her labor was not going how she envisioned it, and she was really struggling to stay focused. Sabrina spent the first half of her shift comforting and trying to do everything she could to get her a vaginal delivery, which included playing multiple rounds of the alphabet game. Sabrina would give her a letter, and the patient would say every word she could think of that started with that letter. Then, when she ran out of words, she would pick a new letter. Sabrina did this over and over for a really long time. The decision was made that the patient would go for a c-section. She was very scared and frequently needed redirected to remain focused. Sabrina stayed with her and reassured her while we waited for anesthesia to finish a case. She took everyone who would be in the OR into the patient’s room to introduce them and give the patient a face to recognize so it would be less frightening in the OR when we were in hats and masks. She advocated for the patient when the patient said she wanted to be asleep for her c-section, and she did everything she could to keep her calm while we waited. When we finally arrived in the OR, the patient started to panic. Sabrina sat right beside her and reassured her. Sabrina started to play the alphabet game again with her, and, suddenly, every single person in the room was playing. The anesthesiologist was giving words, the NICU nurse practitioner and RT were coming up with words. The attending and resident came into scrub and started playing. By the time the OR was set, and the final time out was called, we were all playing the alphabet game together, having fun, and the patient was more focused. This delivery could have gone differently if the patient had a different nurse. Sabrina went above and beyond to give the patient a delivery that met the patient where she was, to provide her with the dignity she deserved and did everything she could do to help protect her mental well-being during a very vulnerable time.
