Question
I am looking for dividers for our narc drawer. We have the punch cards for our narcs and I am searching for dividers so we can divide each patient's punch card as our narcs are kept in one locked drawer as most standard med carts do. Does such a product exist? Thank you.

Answer

Dear Ms. Diamond:

Thank you for your inquiry.  Most dividers are brand name specific.  However, if you know the manufacturer or the dimension of the drawer, we may be able to find a divider which will meet your needs.  We look forward to your feedback.

Question
Hi! My name is Jamie Antin and I am a Medical Social Worker in the Stroke & Neuroscience Center at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta. The patient I am writing to you about is a fifty-two year old male who has stolen the hearts of all the staff here at Grady Hospital. He recently finished chemotherapy and radiation for lung cancer, but recently found out that unfortunately the cancer has spread to his brain diagnosed with brain metastasis. Despite this terminal diagnosis, he contains to remain positive and try to live his life to the fullest. He would greatly benefit from an orthopedic pillow to help with the pain he is suffering several stitches on the back of his head from craniotomy, but is unable to afford one. Would you all be interested in helping this patient? If you have any further questions about this incredible patient, do not hesitate to call me at 404-368-5852. Any assistance that you are able to provide would be very much appreciated. With much appreciation, Jamie Antin, MSW Medical Social Worker Grady Memorial Hospital Cell # 404-368-5852

Answer

We would be happy to review the needs of the patient and offer reduced pricing on one of our pillows.  Please advise if you have any more specific needs for this patient.  What we may suggest due to the stitches is our "Core" pillows as these have an indent in the center of the pillow that may allow for less pressure on that section of the head.
