Dona Lee Osborn

There are so many happy and funny memories that I was fortunate enough to witness while working with Dona. One of my favorites is one time before she was the Medical Director she was on her Surgical Unit and was getting very frustrated because she was trying to call the Medical Unit and no one was answering the telephone up there.

I remember sitting at my desk and heard Dona get on the overhead paging system to the entire hospital and say in a stern voice "MEDICAL WILL YOU PLEASE PICK UP YOUR PHONE?" I remember sitting there as Bridgette walked out of her office and we looked at one another thinking "Oh No She Didn't" as We both began to laugh and just then we heard yet another overhead page by her. It was at that time that she received a call from Heidi informing her that the reason they were not answering their phones is because they were in the patients rooms. It was shortly after that when we took away her paging privileges but that moment will be with me forever because it was hilarious.
