Beutel Correctly Diagnoses Common Cold
An employee at Beutel Health Center is being formally recognized following an unprecedented occurrence last week. Audrey Flanagan, a senior nursing student, shocked coworkers by being the first Beutel employee to correctly diagnose an illness.
When student Brady Lewis displayed several symptoms, including drowsiness, headache and a mild cough, doctors and nurses feared the worst: pneumonia. Just as doctors were writing Lewis’s prescription, Flanagan rushed into the room. “All he needs is some Mucinex and a good night’s rest,” said Flanagan, as she pointed to a page in her Intro to Nursing textbook. “It’s just a common cold.”
Flanagan’s boss, Dr. Susan Bates, was left in a state of disbelief. The Johns Hopkins graduate began work at Beutel following 5 years of experience at the Center For Disease Control. Bates told reporters that she had never seen anything quite like it, as most of her experience was with H1N1 and Ebola outbreaks.
Flanagan is scheduled to be formally recognized in the upcoming edition of Texas A&M Today as part of the recent Lead By Example campaign. Her inclusion makes her part of an impressive group of Aggies, with achievements including the development of lifesaving tourniquets.
