I was there in 2012 with what was believed to be pneumonia. With an extreme fever, very low oxygen levels, collapsed lung, age (63) , and 40+ years smoking the prognosis was not in my favor. For over a week my body did not respond to any treatments, however the Doctors did not give up but continued to search for a solution. Similar to COVID-19, the normal regimen of antibiotics and steroids were exhausted with no positive response. But my Doctors resorted to something older and possibly off label, and I started to slowly improve. After 15 days there, I was released and with 6 weeks of rehab was able to return to work.
I thank Almighty God that he spared me and has his people in place to accomplish his will !
I have been hospitalized over 10 times in my lifetime and this hospital stay was the Best hospital experience of my life. From triage in the emergency department, to the nurses, aides, cleaning folks, therapist and especially the Doctors everyone was caring and friendly !!!
