Excerpts taken from an e-mail from J. Michael Jones. I was walking to meet friends to tailgate on Saturday, and as you know, I am a person who is blind. All of a sudden I found myself on my knees with a bleeding head. I had struck, very hard, a street sign that had been leaning at a 45 degree angle over the sidewalk — at just an angle that my cane would not detect it. While I was slumped over bleeding, many people and motorists passed me by — except for one of your Auburn University nursing students. This young lady took charge of the scene. She began administering to me without regard for the blood but with complete regard for me as a person. When the police officer arrived, she took charge of him as well. She did not care that she did not have the proper supplies; she worked with what she had, and everyone listened to her, She stopped the bleeding, cleaned my hands and face without thinking about the risk to herself, like someone who knows how to care and love. She tried her best to convince me to be transported to the hospital, but I am a stubborn person who does not like doctors and I accepted her bandages. Oh, yes, she bandaged my head with what she could pull together at the scene and did a heck of a job. When I got on campus, I realized that she was right in insisting that I seek further medical attention because I began to hurt. I went to the stadium and was treated by professional personnel there and was transported elsewhere to receive further attention. Please find an opportunity to recognize this nursing student because she has earned it. My only point in writing is for the university to take special notice of her because she represents the nursing excellence in AU’s program. Morgan Mallory, AU junior nursing student, provided help and care for Mr. Jones.
