"Taylor and her mother were so moved by the situation they invited the patient and Dr. Kathryn Eastley, Resident in Emergency Medicine, and her Denver Health Paramedics colleague backstage for a meet and greet! … Best residency event coverage ever? Um, YES!"
The girl's mother thanked the emergency responders, Taylor Swift and her mom Andrea Swift on Facebook and wrote in a comment, "Taylor's mom come straight to us when she saw my little girl was being carried limp and still in the [postictal] fog to the gurney and wanted to make sure she was taken care of and she definitely was. Thank you thank you thank you a million times for taking care of my baby girl. Thank you thank you to Taylor Swift, Andrea Swift, and crew for making a very scary night into a happy ending."
