"Last week we had a patient in for a routine and straightforward procedure. Afterward, the patient mentioned that they didn't feel well. I encouraged them to stay for a few extra minutes. I monitored the patient as best I could, between other patients, mentioning my concern to the physician. Fast-forward 30 minutes, we ended up rushing the patient to the ER for signs of possible blockage. My logic and judgment helped this patient to avoid a potentially fatal incident.

"While monitoring a patients blood pressure and heart rate using electrocardiogram equipment during a diagnostic procedure, the EKG suggested a possible problem with the patient. I was able to notify the physician right away. Because of my prompt acknowledgment of the notification, we were able to help diagnose a serious issue in the patient."
