I had an emergency room visit with chest pain. ER staff was lightning fast in getting me checked out, and tested. The cardiologist was with me quickly and explained what was happening. I was in surgery within 90 minutes of walking in. Doc was amazing, knowledgeable and had me stabilized after 3 hours of surgery. Follow up care and recovery in the hospital was stellar. ICU nurses were also very knowledgeable and empowered by the system and the attending physician to make decisions. It was a great thing to see. I'm able to write this thanks to those folks. But for food services struggling to meet my medically mandated diet, the experience, as bad as it was, couldn't have been better. Clarksville is very lucky to have such great services. They're real people who understand more than charts and test results. They're helpful, compassionate and understanding.
