When Altruism Goes Wrong

In this edition of the Physician Grind Narratives first time contributor, Whi Inh Shirley Bae, shares with us a story from her premed days. She was bright eyed and bushy tailed when she found an abused woman in the waiting room of the emergency department she was volunteering at. Instead of finding a social worker to help the woman, Shirley decided to take matters into her own hands.

An altered patient is brought in by paramedics. The patient’s work up revealed a STEMI and within moments Heaveen is running with the transport team through the halls of the hospital as the patient is transferred to the cath lab.
