Transcript

00:00We know the hard work and sacrifice they go through serving our community and keeping us safe.

00:06Let's honor another First Responder on 99.5 QYK.

00:11I've got Patricia on the phone today for First Responder Friday.

00:14She's honoring her mom.

00:15Good morning, Patricia.

00:16How are you?

00:17Great.

00:18How are you doing?

00:18We're doing great.

00:19So your mother's name is Margaret, right?

00:21Yes.

00:22All right.

00:22Well, tell us about Margaret.

00:23What does she do as a First Responder?

00:25She is an RN, and she's been doing it almost 40 years.

00:30It will be 40 years this year.

00:32Wow.

00:33Wow.

00:34Yeah.

00:34So she's been everywhere from pediatrics to home health.

00:38She did trauma ICU and CVICU.

00:43Did the whole COVID pandemic and took care of a bunch of patients during that.

00:49So she's done a lot.

00:50Yeah, absolutely.

00:51So your mom being a nurse growing up, is this something that inspired you to be a nurse

00:55too?

00:56I'm actually a nurse because of her.

00:57There you go.

00:58Oh, I love this.

00:59We get to honor you too then.

01:01Yeah.

01:03So, you know, obviously she's helping people every day.

01:06She's around people every day.

01:07What is something that you have learned from your mom that you've applied to yourself as

01:12far as being an RN?

01:14Always having compassion for people.

01:16Okay.

01:17Never judging them just because of how they look.

01:19I love that.

01:20Yeah.

01:20It takes a very special person to, you know, do what you guys do on a daily basis and to

01:27have that compassion for somebody who is, you know, going through such a traumatic experience,

01:32whether it's, you know, in the ICU or whatever.

01:34I mean, you have to have that compassion for complete strangers.

01:37And I love that.

01:39Yes, you have to.

01:40And you have to be able to deal with a lot and handle a lot when you're seeing people

01:45that might not make it.

01:46Well, Patricia, again, we want to say thank you for you being a first responder as well.

01:52But I think it's so cool that you're honoring your mother, Margaret.

01:55Tell us something that you guys like to do when you guys aren't working.

01:58We hang out with my kids.

02:00You hang out with your kids?

02:01Yeah, I have one five and seven-year-old girls and she loves hanging out with grandkids.

02:06Oh, wow.

02:07You're busy.

02:08Yes.

02:08And all girls.

02:11All girls.

02:11Oh, bless you.

02:14Do you think we got some more nurses in the family?

02:17I don't know.

02:18I've got one that wants to be a teacher and one who loves to follow what mommy does.

02:22So, you know, could be.

02:23There you go.

02:24Could be a fourth generation.

02:26I love it.

02:26Well, listen, here's what we want to do.

02:27We want to give you $200 in Visa gift cards to give to your mother.

02:31This is thanks to our friends at Crown Buick GMC and Demesman and Dover Law Firm.

02:35Just a small way for us to say thank you to both of you, actually.

02:39For what you guys do for our community.

02:41Thank you so much.

02:42I appreciate that.

02:43You can have, like, a mother-daughter night or, you know, maybe a nice dinner.

02:46Mother-daughter grandkids night.

02:48Or go get some pedicures or something.

02:50Yeah.

02:50Yeah, whatever.

02:50That'd be awesome.

02:51But spoil your mom for us, okay?

02:53Awesome.

02:54Thank you so much.

02:55You got it.
