My husband and I were traveling through the Big Bend National Park last week, and he became very weak and short of breath. We were a long way from home, but thank God, we got to Alpine where I took him to the Big Bend Regional Medical Center. The Doctors (Dr. Shieff and Dr John Ray) were exceptional, along with nurses Trish in the ER and Patrick on the floor. In 77 years, he has never had a more thorough workup, as they checked him from head to toe, and kept him overnight for observation. Fortunately, all is well, but we were frightened of course.

In addition, the folks at the Best Western and Pizza Hut were extremely helpful, as we found ourselves in trouble so far from home. The good Lord was watching over us to direct us to Alpine and the wonderful folks there!! We are telling friends that if you're going to get sick in Texas, make it Alpine!! Thank you all so very much.
