Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist Judy Receives Extraordinary Story Award

Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist Judy Receives Extraordinary Story Award

The following story was submitted by Imaging Informatics Liaison Michelle of North Oaks Medical Center:

“I recently observed CRNA Judy selflessly helping a gentleman confined to a scooter in our cafeteria. Because of the way she was caring for him, I thought he was a family member at first. Carrying his tray, she guided him through the food line as he made his selections, making sure he got a drink, utensils and condiments. After he paid for his meal, she carried his tray to the table and laid out his meal for him. She then helped him transfer from the scooter to the table, taking care to position his oxygen tank so he could sit in the chair. It was at this point that I realized that he was not a family member, but a visitor whom she noticed needed help. My point is that Judy took the time to treat this gentleman like a family member, and I am certain it made his day. It made me proud to know she probably treats all of her patients like this. She may have been having a stressful day, but that gentleman never knew it. Please let her know that the patients are not the only ones who appreciate her kindness.”
