Carol Henderson - Going the extra mile for pt in need

On Tuesday Nov 19 OR services had an elderly lady here from Marion Virginia.  She had surgical procedure and placement of wound vac.  The pt incidentally forgot the wound vac charger.   This tragedy was discovered on cleaning of the room after the pt was gone. Attempts to call were unsuccessful to cell phone until later in the evening when she was reached on a landline.  Our unit secretary "Carol Henderson" who spoke with this lady on the phone worried that her machine would cut off and be an issue with this post surgery wound.                                                                                                            Carol took this charger at 5pm in the evening and proceeded on a road trip accompanied by her husband to Marion Virginia.   When she arrived there they met the husband at a gas station and was told the vac was beeping.   This selfless venture may have save this pt from having to have another vac place today and dressing change today to prevent wound issues. Carol you are a true saint.
