On Thursday I checked into the hospital to have a procedure with Dr. S. The procedure was stopped as they discovered I had water in my lungs and heart. My heart stopped and they did CPR and had to shock me back to life.
I transferred to the CCU and James was my nurse. I was confused. I am a Vietnam Vet with PTSD and anger issues. I tried to leave the hospital and was mad at everyone. James was able to calm me down until I trusted him. His professionalism and sense of duty were remarkable. I am alive and well now and James had a lot to do with it.

Thank you, James, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
