If I Could Just Toot My Own Horn For a Sec.

I got introduced the other day as "the women who saved my husbands life"! My patients wife said this with tears in her eyes...... thats why I do what I do! It was a great feeling. I caught small neurological changes in her husband that led to a quick and emergent craniotomy AKA brain surgery. The changes were small but by the time we got back from MRI and a CT scan, he was decompensating quickly. His breathing pattern and level of conscioiusness had changed. It made me feel really good to know I had caught on early and that, from what I know, he is doing much better. :)
