Maggie saved my baby's life. She noticed a drop in heart rate during my baby's Non-stress test. The interns were ready to send me home but she stepped in and advocated for me to stay and have further testing! My amniotic fluid turned out to be on the lower end and my baby's heart rate continued to drop with each contraction after I was induced which resulted in a C-section. If it wasn't for Maggie stepping in, I would've gone home and possibly have lost my baby. I am extremely thankful for her knowledge and gumption to step up for a patient.
