Autumn was taking care of the patient in the ICU when her boyfriend was complaining of chest pain. The patient refused to go to the ED initially but after much encouragement by Autumn, the gentleman agreed. Autumn wheeled him to the ED. This patient was having a huge Heart Attack and ended up being rushed to the cath lab and getting angioplasty and stents. Autumn saved this man's life! After the procedure, the patient was admitted to the ICU just down the hall from his loved one. They all were beyond thankful. The patient called Autumn his guardian angel.
