My husband came in for a cath lab procedure just after Christmas. Jerry took care of him and make him feel so comfortable and kept him informed of the day's events. After the procedure, we went to CCU. A few hours after my husband came back to the floor, he was having some discomfort. Jerry came in the room and my husband told him he just broke into a cold sweat with severe indigestion. Jerry immediately swung into action. He performed an EKG and got the doctor in the room. My husband immediately went to the cath lab. It was determined that there were clots in his stents. Not only did Jerry take care of my husband, but he was constantly checking on me! He even stayed past his shift to make sure my husband would be alright. Thank you, Jerry, for saving my husband's life. You will always be in our hearts.
