Saturday morning my son was playing outside on some tractor equipment and his hands were slammed in a lever. We went straight to the Emergency Department in Florence. I ran in carrying my son and was checked in very quickly. We were taken straight back to a room where Taylor and other ED staff met us. They all tried to comfort my boy while I gave them information on what happened.
After looking at X-rays, the team decided to suture his hands and wrap them in bulky dressings. My son, a curious four-year-old, had a lot of questions.
Taylor took the time to explain everything to my son, step by step and was so patient with him. Being a nurse myself I knew what was going on and what the next step was. But, she made sure he understood and was comfortable before she ever started his IV for moderate sedation. When he woke, after asking when we could go home, he wanted to know where Taylor was and when she was coming back. I asked what he needed and he said, 'Nothing, she's just berry nice.'
Thank you, Taylor, for comforting our boy. You are one of the many reasons people continue to choose McLeod.
