[music playing]

00:00:00.966 --> 00:00:02.633
[DYAN] I'm Dyan.
I'm a nurse practitioner

00:00:02.767 --> 00:00:04.100
with the HouseCalls program.

00:00:04.233 --> 00:00:06.867
Delores is an amazing person.

00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:10.000
Delores, hi.
It's so good to see you again.

00:00:10.100 --> 00:00:13.367
She's a volunteer
for multiple organizations,

00:00:13.600 --> 00:00:16.433
and she does tons of traveling

00:00:16.500 --> 00:00:18.433
and is very active with her family.

00:00:18.533 --> 00:00:20.567
Do you remember
what they said this one's for?

00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:23.533
What we did when we sat down
for the house call

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.033
is go through
all of her health information,

00:00:26.167 --> 00:00:28.500
her medication, surgical history.

00:00:28.667 --> 00:00:30.933
And when I went to do
the physical exam

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:32.900
and listened to Delores' heart,

00:00:32.967 --> 00:00:35.733
I discovered that she had
a significant heart murmur.

00:00:36.733 --> 00:00:38.600
And without alarming her,

00:00:38.733 --> 00:00:41.900
I asked her if she was aware
that she had a heart murmur,

00:00:41.967 --> 00:00:43.233
and she had no idea.

00:00:43.400 --> 00:00:44.767
She had never heard that before.

00:00:44.867 --> 00:00:45.967
[DYAN] Can you hear it?
[DELORES] Mm-hmm.

00:00:46.367 --> 00:00:48.300
[DYAN] It's interesting, right?
[DELORES] Yeah.

00:00:48.433 --> 00:00:50.200
[DELORES] She said,
you have to call the doctor.

00:00:50.267 --> 00:00:53.067
And I go, okay,
I'll call her tomorrow,

00:00:53.133 --> 00:00:54.766
you know, as soon as I can.

00:00:54.900 --> 00:00:57.133
And she goes, no, no, no.

00:00:57.267 --> 00:00:59.833
No, no, no,
you're calling right now,

00:01:00.700 --> 00:01:02.300
and made me call right that minute,

00:01:02.433 --> 00:01:06.067
which the doctors say possibly
could have saved my life.

00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:09.333
[DYAN] If Delores hadn't been
diagnosed with a heart murmur

00:01:09.433 --> 00:01:10.800
and hadn't got the follow-up,

00:01:10.867 --> 00:01:12.533
the situation
could have been very bad.

00:01:12.633 --> 00:01:13.667
She could have died.

00:01:16.067 --> 00:01:20.033
I love the fact that
she gets to live a longer life.

00:01:20.833 --> 00:01:22.433
Everyone deserves that chance.

00:01:23.100 --> 00:01:24.967
[DELORES] I like to do yoga.

00:01:25.067 --> 00:01:26.467
I love to exercise.

00:01:26.533 --> 00:01:28.300
I like to walk with my friends.

00:01:29.300 --> 00:01:32.233
It's just fun
keeping each other going.

00:01:32.567 --> 00:01:34.867
[DYAN] She's just
a really incredible person.

00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:37.200
It's such an amazing feeling to know

00:01:37.267 --> 00:01:39.133
that we can make
a difference in someone's life.

00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:41.167
and literally save somebody's life.

00:01:41.367 --> 00:01:47.000
