Abstract
ON OCTOBER 1, 2007, RN magazine published my article “David’s Story” about a patient of mine who was born prematurely 30 years ago. When David was just a day or two old, he was almost pronounced dead, but a bold and dedicated respiratory therapist asked if she could try to help him. And help him she did! David was kept alive at an outlying hospital until he could be admitted to our tertiary NICU, which at the time of David’s birth was full. Three days later, our unit at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, Florida, had room to take David. At the end of that RN article, I wrote, “Maybe I’ll even get to dance at his wedding.”
