I recently had three hospital stays and on the second one, I was put on a medicine, and all seemed to be fine. After I was released home, I did outpatient labs, but my whole body hurt. Late in the afternoon, Sarah saw my labs and noticed my sodium level dropped to 119. She tried to call me, but I couldn’t wake up to answer the phone. Sarah called my emergency contact, my dad, and asked him to get ahold of me right away. Sarah tried calling me again and I answered this time, but I was really out of it, slurring my words. She told me about what she saw in my labs, and I knew it was SIADH because I’ve had it before.

Thankfully, Sarah called an ambulance for me before I took my next two med doses. I believe if I’d have taken those doses, I would have passed away in my sleep. Nobody was with me, and no one would have found me. Another issue I had was I’d had been taking prescribed meds for 10 days then went to an appointment with my PCP. After the appointment, I went home and compared the after-visit summary with the labels on my medication bottles. I discovered they were labeled with a dosage that was too low.

I immediately contacted Sarah with my concerns. She quickly addressed the issue, and my medication was updated to the correct dosage. I would have been in serious medical trouble had this error not been found and Sarah quickly fixing it. Sarah’s number one priority was me and making sure I was okay, even after hours. She worked so hard to help fix these issues quickly and twice saved my life. I appreciate her so much! She truly cares above and beyond for her patients.
