CFMH's Terri Duke, RN, BSN, CCRN Comes to the Rescue!

Submitted by Amanda Robertson, MSN, MBA, RN, CMSRN, Carilion Franklin Memorial Hospital Inpatient Unit Director

Terri Duke was taking a discharged patient out and found someone on the ground in the parking lot with a head laceration. Terri juggled her discharging patient and the head injury patient while waiting for help to arrive and the family to arrive for the discharging patient. Once help arrived, Terri got the patient to the ED.  The patient was later admitted for something unrelated to the head laceration and said she thought Terri had saved her life! She stated she got dizzy and passed out and when she woke up Terri was there.  Terri is an asset to our team and our patients!!
