Thanks to CFMH's Tiffany McPherson, CNA in Med Surg, Patient Gets Dying Wish
submitted by Donna Castillo, BSN, RN, CHPN, Pallative Care at CFMH
We had a patient dying recently and the family was not available. When Tiffany had a spare minute, she sat with this patient, talked with her and held her hand. The patient wanted a milkshake (something she had been denied due to her illness). Tiffany went and bought her a butter pecan milkshake (her favorite!), and then took the time to feed it to her. The patient died later that afternoon. Tiffany helped this lady die a much more peaceful death and she didn't die alone. This goes above and beyond her responsibilities. I really appreciate Tiffany!!
