Receiving and Distribution at Fauquier Hospital, and a former OR and ER nurse .
In January he was admitted to Winchester Medical Center for a week. It was then that Mr. Embrey was told his heart condition had worsened and there was ho help for it, he was terminal.
“I recommended he see a cardiologist,” she said. ‘The doctor who treated him specialized in internal medicine and I felt he needed a second opnion and it should come from a cardiologist.”
Mr. Embrey went to see a cardiologist in Manassas, they discussed his case, he was examined and he was told that he was a good candidate for a heart transplant. The cardiologist sent him to the Transplant Center of Fairfax Hospital.
“Anyone with a serious heart condition should be followed by a cardiologist and the one he saw in Manassas was wonderful, as was his staff. He told Charles that his heart was as bad as we had been told but hat he was a candidate for a heart transplant. He saw him right away and since January things have really taken off,” Ruth said.
While her brother was being evaluated by the Transplant Committee, Ruth called the Washington Hospital Consortium. Ruth had had experience with harvesting organs when she was an OR and ER nurse. She had talked to families about the gift they were to receive and thanked others for the gift of life they were giving.
“I talked to the Consortium and they answered all the questions I had about donor organs,” she said. “I feel I’ve really come full circle.”
Linda Ohler, the pre-transplant coordinator at Fairfax Hospital, also answered many other questions for Ruth.
