Braving bad weather isn’t heroic.
Until it is.
The Arizona desert is known for its “monsoon season” during the hot summer months. Havoc can be caused by the heavy rain, wind and dust storms. During one of these horrific storms, a person was impaled by a tree branch, causing very serious injuries. A local hospital called us with a STAT order for a factor product as part of the treatment for the patient’s heavy bleeding.
Within minutes of receiving the order, a BioCareSD staff member was navigating a vehicle through a power outage, low visibility and flooding roads, to deliver the factor product to the hospital.
A waiting pharmacist rushed it to the emergency room where the patient was being treated.
That evening, a local television station broadcast a news story about the storm, including the miraculous recovery of the patient injured by the tree branch, who was stable and on the road to a full recovery.
