While it was a confusing and very scary situation for my family, Chris was a familiar, trusted nurse who I am thankful was there before we headed out.
After a few trips to the ER and UCC, I found myself bringing my 2-year-old back to the ED before his regularly scheduled recheck with Pediatrics. He was having difficulty breathing (belly breathing when sleeping) and appeared swollen from what I thought were severe allergies.
I took him to the ER while my husband stayed with our other children at home, expecting us back in several hours. Our son's bloodwork was abnormal, and after the on-call ED doctor conferred with Nationwide, they decided we needed to be transported to Columbus for detailed bloodwork and additional care. Talk about terrified. I was alone, waiting for my husband to arrive, and his initial diagnosis was horrifying for any parent to hear.
The nurse who cared for us was very kind, but I was hoping for a familiar face during that time and asked if Chris was working. After my husband and parents arrived, it was time for a shift change. Chris came right in and checked on us, and I explained to him what I had been told and asked a few questions. I was wrecked, my nerves shot, and Chris came in with calmness and a very sincere demeanor. He assured me he would review the questions I had and have the new on-call ER doctor speak with us prior to transport out.
He acknowledged the heightened emotional state of everyone in the room and worked with his team to provide as much clarity as possible at that time. He responded by keeping his word, looking into my son's results, and bringing Dr. A in with him to talk with us before leaving. While it was a confusing and very scary situation for my family, Chris was a familiar, trusted nurse who I am thankful was there before we headed out.
My husband appreciated the time Chris took and his approach to our situation. His words, "He's a chill but very knowledgeable guy - it was obvious he's very good at his job!" This was the reason I hoped Chris was working initially. No one wants to be in the ER, especially a parent of a little one. However, my family is very appreciative of Chris' time, approach, the way he delivered information to us, and how he collaborated with colleagues to bring us information.
Holzer is fortunate to have Chris in the ED! He is top-notch!
