We were grateful that the entire time the staff were dealing with hundreds of walk ins their thoughtful care of Bob was appreciated. The doctors and nurses listened to Bob's issue that brought him into the emergency room and ordered tests and monitored him carefully during the entire 8 hours. Bob left feeling a great deal of relief from the issue that he walked in with. The hundreds of people who entered the ER during the 8 hours that we were there were treated with the same thoughtful care that Bob received.
