Ty Kindred showed his quick thinking and extraordinary sense that something was wrong after I had shoulder replacement surgery and was in the hospital. Another nurse had found me comatose after receiving pain medication. Ty noticed that I was having chest pain and was being dismissive about it to the doctors who saw me. Thanks to Ty’s persistence and repeatedly advocating that I was having chest pain, it was discovered that my coronary artery was 99% blocked. Without his astute attention to detail, I would not be here today. They called it a widow-maker heart attack that required immediate attention. He not only saved my life, but he also went above and beyond in his care of me throughout my hospital stay.
