Today I ran a large kitchen knife through my hand. I was pretty freaked out and did not want to go through the ordeal and expense of the local ER. I went here instead. Best decision ever. I was only waiting for about ten minutes before treatment was started.

You know you have a serious wound when nurses and doctors cringe when you tell them what happened. The doctor was very compassionate and talked me through the whole lengthy process of fixing me up.

I expressed my concern of how much it was going to cost me to get through fixing my hand since I have minimal to no insurance. The doctor set up my next two visits so that there would be no cost if there were no complications.

Everyone was kind and caring and made a horrible situation bearable. I have been through more medical emergencies then I can remember due mostly to my thrill seeking past and clumsy ways, and I walked into Sansum clinic scared, in pain, and fearing the worst. I was lucky in that I didn't cause more damage than I could have since I stuck a large knife right through my hand. Dr. O'callaghan fixed me, made me feel better about my situation, and I am very grateful for his skill and compassion.
