My mom didn't realize she was having a heart attack and they saved her life. (Thank you guys SO MUCH.) When I arrived at the hospital, everyone knew who I was talking about when I said I was looking for her and how to help me find her. I was able to talk to a nurse within a couple of minutes who explained her status, and about 5 other people (doctors, residents, nurses) found me to update me on what had happened. My mom's heart stopped for about 5 minutes and they were able to bring her back 4 times. The team is passionate about what they do and were excited that they'd saved my mom's life, but were also thorough and sensitive when explaining it to me. The ICU team was also excellent and totally on top of everything, they were also willing to explain the monitors and machines to me that my mom was hooked up to, calming my nerves when something started beeping and explaining what it meant, somehow maintaining a sense of humor throughout the entire ordeal to keep things lighthearted and positive. I can't say enough good things about our experience with them. Highly recommended for emergencies, particularly involving cardiac arrest and intensive care. Thanks to these guys, my mom gets a second chance at life.
