Overall Patient Satisfaction Rating

I knew all the people surrounding me were the angels that were sent to care for me.
The courage that it takes to fight this is something that I didn’t think I had, but I found out that I did have it. And I believe that if I can find the courage that others can too.

We didn't look backwards, we looked forward to my cure.
There's not a day that goes by that I'm not emotionally involved with my patients. I feel like by sharing my story with them I can help them get through.
