A severe medical diagnosis caused a “mess” on her own blanket. The patient was embarrassed. Kathy took the blanket home and tried to wash it. The stain did not come out. Kathy then took the blanket to the dry cleaners and had it cleaned. She returned the blanket to the patient in the hospital. The patient died a few days later. The patient was unable to report this, so I did. Thanks, Kathy!
