His Extra Effort Helps Someone in Need

service starGeoffrey Hallock, M.D., had just spent 12 hours performing a complicated surgery. But when his help was needed for another patient, he didn’t think twice about working even longer.

He discovered that it was his colleague, an emergency department (ED) nurse, who asked for his help in treating her husband, who had suffered serious facial injuries in a car accident.

Hallock, associate chief of plastic surgery, consulted with her and reassured he’d do everything possible. He then performed a five-hour surgery to treat his injuries and kept his ED nurse colleague informed and comforted throughout, encouraging her to get some much-needed rest.

“It’s how Dr. Hallock goes the extra mile every day to provide patients and their families the best possible care,” says Courtney Vose, R.N., Lehigh Valley Hospital–Cedar Crest emergency department director.
