Emily Daby, a nurse at Adirondack Health, stands at a station where she monitors patients’ vital signs as they come through the ambulatory surgery unit. She’s the first person people see when they come out from under general anesthesia, but they don’t usually remember her. “We still have good conversations,” Daby said on May 5. “They just don’t remember them.” Daby has worked at Adirondack Health for 20 years.
