I have always respected how well Maggie cares for her patients in the PICU, both clinically and with compassion.
On two recent occasions, I have witnessed Maggie give her all for people in the end moments of their lives. The first was a baby who she helped keep alive during his transport here from an outside hospital. And yesterday, she was running an out-of-the-ordinary code like a boss. We responded to assist in the treatment of a life-threatening event for a family member in the NICU. She was the guiding force in a very chaotic situation and worked diligently to lead the team in caring for this adult. I have always respected how well Maggie cares for her patients in the PICU, both clinically and with compassion. And it is great to see her excel in leading people with confidence during stressful situations. Working alongside her is a privilege.
