Robyn organized having her son bring some clothes from home so that he could leave in normal clothes.
Robyn was caring for a very difficult patient who was set on leaving AMA. She calmed him and worked with the whole care team to get an appropriate discharge without signing out AMA. This same patient had no clothes to leave in and she organized having her son bring some clothes from home so that he could leave in normal clothes. This was above and beyond her duties and truly showed her compassion and ability to work alongside and with a difficult patient.
