This place is amazing. After going into heart fail...

This place is amazing. After going into heart failure during the 30 week point in my pregnancy, I had to have a crash C-section. They took my son and took excellent care of him, whole also making sure I was going to be okay. I had open heart surgery here and I couldn't have been more happy. I'm only 21, so I was terrified of being alone, and being surrounded by needles and tubes and wires constantly. The nursing team is absolutely amazing, along with the trauma team and surgical team. Dr. Cramer is my cardiologist and he's not afraid to say what's what. His nurse Lindsey is a sweetheart and is always super helpful, even when in a time crunch. Dr. Duncan was my cardiac surgeon and he's really nice and checked up on me multiple times after the surgery, as did Dr. Cramer. The nurse Lyon, who was in the cardiac unit is hands down the best nurse I had ever had there. He was always on top of every question I had. He came to see me after both surgeries as well.
This staff made my stay so much better, and after blowing IV after IV, they understood my severe fear of needles. The crying, the pain, and the hyperventilating. They ALWAYS comforted me when I needed a new line or IV placed. These people went above and beyond, and save my life, and my son's. I cannot thank these people enough.
