My husband was hit by the car during the attack in Charlottesville. He refused to go to the emergency room, he insisted his injury was minor compared to the young woman that he witnessed die that day on the street. He reported as a witness to the police but did not want to take a place from those in need. Several days later in a lot of pain, he finally went to the ER and was diagnosed with a bone bruise and a broken toe. I am appreciative to the doctor for that diagnosis, but the true magic happened when Stacey Johnson RN spent 45 minutes talking to my husband and letting him express his grief and share his story. It's a rare moment any day when an ER nurse has that time to give to a patient, but Stacey had the time and instead of going back to her desk, she spent that time sitting with my husband and just therapeutically interacting with him. We have a long journey from here. He is going to have to reconcile and get counseling for being unable to close his eyes and not hear the thuds of the bodies bouncing off the car or seeing a young woman die in front of him. Stacey was kind and caring to himthat day. She provided more healing than she will ever know. He felt validated and heard by a professional realizing he was not alone and can start to heal.
