The following submission was provided by North Oaks Imaging Associates Physician Assistant Julie Edmiston:

“While performing routine X-rays, Radiology Technologist Kayla noticed that her patient was experiencing some concerning symptoms while the views were being taken. When Kayla compared the patient’s new and old films, she noticed a troubling difference and immediately consulted me.

“Upon reading the new films, I advised Kayla that the patient needed to be sent to the Emergency Department right away.

“There, the patient was found to be in the midst of a medical crisis and admitted for immediate intervention.

“Because of Kayla’s keen sense of awareness, the patient received lifesaving care in a timely manner.”
