Sarah was at the bedside of a critically ill patient. The patient did not have any numbers saved in his phone and could not remember the last 4 digits of his daughter's phone number. Sarah dialed every combination the patient could think of until she reached his daughter. Then the patient's phone died. Sarah immediately pulled her personal phone out and dialed the daughter back. The patient was so grateful he was able to talk to his daughter as the surgeons rushed him to the OR. Thanks to this selfless act, this woman was able to talk to her dad one last time.
