One day, a patient arrived for a scan and removed all metal objects that could interfere with the imaging process. Gomez saw the patient take off her eyeglasses and then helped position her on the MRI table.<\/p>\n<p>Once the scan was complete, the patient left the hospital and returned to her nursing home.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after, Gomez realized the patient left her glasses at the hospital and decided to take the eyeglasses to the patient.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have elderly parents,\u201d Gomez said. \u201cAnd if it was one of them, I want them to get them (back).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Knowing that glasses are expensive and the inconvenience involved in getting a new pair, Gomez wanted to personally make sure the patient got her glasses back that night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just thought it\u2019s just easier if I just take it to her,\u201d Gomez said.<\/p>\n<p>That Friday evening, after working a 12-hour shift, Gomez proceeded to drive 10 miles out of her way to the nursing home to hand-deliver the glasses to the patient.<\/p>\n<p>When the patient saw Gomez, her face lit up. The patient was stunned, saying: \u201cI can\u2019t believe you\u2019re here with my glasses. I can\u2019t believe that you drove and found me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The patient was elated and very grateful for Gomez\u2019s effort to return her favorite glasses.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, colleague Nathan Stevens submitted a Celebrating You recognition for Gomez.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAngela demonstrated how she places patients first; even outside of work hours she is looking to improve the lives of our patients,\u201d Stevens wrote in the recognition. \u201cShe shows that true compassion doesn\u2019t clock out.
