My own patient story

Earlier this year I asked all members of our leadership group to begin every meeting with a patient story. This act reconnects our teams with our mission and purpose.

I have my own story.

We have two events happening at the Schreiner House this week:

1. My wife, Stephanie, will be celebrating a birthday;
2. We are having our septic tank cleaned out.

Being a pragmatic person, it seemed to me there was a connection between the two, so I asked:

“What do you think if we count the septic tank cleaning as your birthday present?”

And THAT is how I ended up in the Emergency Department.
