I had my very first blood transfusion. I will say that I am deeply pleased at Saint Thomas Rutherford. I was in a very clean environment, and if anyone knows Carson, an RN who works in infusions, please pass along my gratitude. She explained every little detail and answered all of my geeky questions. My procedure lasted about 4 to 5 hours, and she did not leave my side once. I love her so much. I asked her 1,000 questions. Not only did she answer everything, but she was patient and literally was just the sweetest person in the whole wide world! I had to go back over to the cancer center to get an iron infusion, and she wheeled me all the way there. I think she’s the most awesome thing in the world!
