A quickly responding trauma team saves little Marion
For Kate Strada of Royal Oak, it was a typical summer afternoon. Her four children were playing, when Marion, her 10-month-old daughter, curiously approached an open door that leads to the basement. Before Kate could reach her, Marion quickly fell down a flight of uncarpeted stairs.
Kate saw Marion crying at the base of the stairs, picked her up immediately and began checking for broken bones.
“Marion appeared to be fine,” she recalls.
Kate made a phone call to her husband to tell him what happened. He suggested that she should take Marion to the hospital just to be certain she was fine, advice that undoubtedly saved her life. While they were waiting for Kate’s mother to come over to watch the other three children, Marion had vomited. Without hesitation Kate called 911 for an ambulance to transport them to the Emergency Center at Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak.
“I was amazed at how many people were waiting for us when we arrived,” says Kate.
