An elderly lady woke one morning, stepped on her scale and found that she had put on 4 lbs.
Concerned, she made breakfast and wondered what to do.
A few minutes later the phone rang and a nurse asked her how she was doing.
The RN had been alerted by wireless that her patient, who suffered from heart failure, had put on 4 pounds overnight.
Asked to come in to the office, the patient explained that she did not have anyone to drive her that day.
“If we send a car, can you be ready in 1 hour?”
Not only did they pick her up but they treated her and prevented her from retaining any more fluid and going into congestive heart failure.
She was back home in no time, unlike another woman without this care who ended up in hospital fighting for her life.
This is a true story.
