One might suspect
that one of the most
nerve-racking scenarios
would be resuscitating
one of your own
patients, praying you
save his or her life.
When this situation
presented itself to Amie Ramirez – twice
in the same day with the same patient –
she knew just what to do.
When Clinical Assistant Dindo Dizon
(this month’s GEM winner) alerted Amie
to a patient who was having trouble
breathing, Amie – along with others from
her team – was able to resuscitate the
patient. “Amy kept calm and composed
and continued to attend to the rest of her
patients in the discharge area, keeping
everyone safe,” her nominator said.
Her open communication, patient
advocacy and determination to keep her
patient safe, made for a job well-done. As
stated by her nominator, “I appreciate her
professionalism and being a team player
in leading her team in the right direction.
She has shown compassion and respect
to everyone.”
Congratulations, Amie!
