Just wanted to let you know how thrilled I was with one of your employees yesterday in the ER. His name is David Camac. My husband has Parkinson's and has recently had a knee replacement. Because of his other knee also needing surgery hes has been falling quite a bit. He is 6'8'' and 350 lbs so not so easy to pick up! I am at my wits end and have torn my rotator cuff trying to help him. He has in the past year had Deep Brain Stimulator implanted in his head which caused him some mental problems. So to my point, he fell twice yesterday so I had to call 911 to pick him up and take him to the ER. After the doctor (great guy also) said they would admit him I was quite hysterical. David pulled me to the side and hugged me (twice!) He told me he knew about Parkinson's and he knew about DBS's and I needed to take care of myself in order to take care of my husband. He told me to go home and relax. He would take care of him and make sure he got a larger bed, that staff was advised that he couldn't have an MRI because of his DBS. He would call me later and let me know what room he was in and he did! He is an angel! Not many nurses or doctors know about Parkinson's or DBS. I felt safe knowing David was there for me and my husband. I've always loved Imperial Point and now I do even more.
