I just wanted to share this story, it is real, one of my employee's tragic story, not some internet story.
Evidently one of my employees fell outside his apartment complex Sunday night. He was found unresponsive in a puddle of blood by another resident. They assume he fell, hitting his head and was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
Unfortunately, no one in his family was aware any of this had happened as no one at the hospital or apartment knew who to call and there was no info in his wallet, no cell phone either.
When he didn’t show up to work on Tuesday, no call no show, very out of the ordinary, the supervisor looked up his emergency contacts and called his brother to make sure all was ok.
When the family could not reach him either, they went to his apartment and it was then they found out what happened.
He had brain surgery this morning but the prognosis is not good. They do not know what happened as he has been unconscious since arriving and do not know how long he was outside before being found.
I wanted to share this story as we all rely on our smart phones and technology for our information and in this case, it wasn't available. If you don’t have something in your wallet right now that has emergency contact info on it, please take the time to write something out, it could save your life one day.
