Stephanie’s compassion to stop and check on the accident alongside her clinical expertise saved a life that day.
Stephanie Fearman, a Wellstar Clinical Coordinator for Surgical Services, was driving to work recently when she saw a car accident and pulled over to help. She quickly realized the severity of the situation and evaluated the crash victim’s injuries and neuro status and administered successful CPR. Stephanie helped keep everyone safe until the EMTs arrived on the scene to transport the patient to the hospital. Stephanie’s compassion to stop and check on the accident alongside her clinical expertise saved a life that day. In reference to the event a few days later Stephanie reflected, “All I could think was how much respect I have for the EMTs and firefighters that do this all day. They are truly heroes! I also felt that the other people who stopped to help were amazing working together to help complete strangers.” I agree with this sentiment but believe Stephanie is also a hero each and every day with her unequivocal dedication to her vascular surgery providers, team, and patients. She will never hesitate to come in when she is off, go to another hospital to help, or stay late to make sure the job is done. Stephanie truly understands the importance of her role and answers that calling every day. We are very lucky to have Stephanie on our team and in our community!
