She said she\u2019d been in and out of clinics for a multitude of medical issues, including a headache and a blood clot in her leg, but assuaging the pain had, so far, been elusive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat kind of took me off guard is a lady of her age and her demeanor had lived a long enough life to know what pain feels like and how to manage pain,\u2019\u2019 Lederman said. \u201cI thought, \u2018Well, after reviewing previous x-rays that were negative I needed to help her get to the bottom of whatever it was that was causing this discomfort.\u2019\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>A physician assistant for 18 years, Lederman sees dozens of patients a day. Months after the woman came to the urgent care, though, she can still picture the patient. She was in Room 3.<\/p>\n<p>Upon first glance, Lederman noticed her discomfort. They more they talked, Lederman thought that something just wasn\u2019t adding up medically.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery day, I see patients and I always do my best to listen. I always try to listen to <em>hear <\/em>them. You don\u2019t listen to respond because there is a big difference in listening to respond and listening to hear and to understand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith this patient \u2026 I couldn\u2019t quite connect the dots as to what was going on. I just kept asking questions and kept trying to listen and understand.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Lederman decided more images were needed, then turned to her patient and said: \u201cSo, I\u2019m concerned about a blood clot in your lung. You\u2019ve already got a blood clot in your leg, so I want to send you over to the ER for further testing to see if you may have a clot in the lung causing this unrelenting pain.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The patient went straight to the emergency department at UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central. Less than 24 hours later, the woman was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer, a shock to the woman\u2019s husband, family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>Lederman, who had grown up on a dairy farm in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, learned to care for people \u2013 and animals \u2013 at a young age. Her parents helped others often and led by example. Her dad would help his Amish neighbors cut hay; and her mom always delivered a homemade meal to a neighbor who had surgery or had given birth to a new baby.<\/p>\n<p>A UCHealth employee whose mother accompanied the patient to the urgent care, wanted to recognize Lederman for the difference her kindness had made.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMonica gave her a gift by assisting with the detection of her cancer. This diagnosis allowed (the patient) two weeks to say her goodbyes to her husband and closest friends and family. It allowed for closure, as much as you can obtain in such a short amount of time.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt allowed for (the patient) and my mother to decorate her home for Fall one last time. Had this not happened, last goodbyes and last hugs would not have been able to happen, and she would not have experienced those last unforgettable embraces.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy family is forever grateful.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><div class=\"su-row\">\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-3 su-column-centered\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;color: #930718\">You Make Extraordinary Possible<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\">Together, we recognize and honor the qualities within ourselves by shining a spotlight on how each and every one of us improve lives in big ways and small.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uchealthpoints.isrewards.com\/Recognition\/Award\/FormFlex.aspx?pr=JAwX5qZPSOA=&#038;m=N\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-flat\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#A22343;border-color:#821c36;border-radius:56px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#be657c;border-radius:56px;text-shadow:none\"> Share a story<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An unexpected diagnosis allows time for closure The patient, as Monica Lederman could see, had trouble getting comfortable.
