Stories like this, a harrowing hospital trip and emergency treatment, give me chills. Fortunately taking blood thinners is a very small price to pay for many more healthy years.

Thank you for writing this, Jeanne. I am so glad to hear that Tom got the care he needed and is going to be okay. How scary that must have been. I had my own scary incident last fall with a ruptured ovarian cyst and the team in the ER at Mission saved my life. I give thanks every day for the doctors, nurses and staff who continue to work (miracles!) at Mission despite what must be a challenging institutional environment. Take good care, both of you. ❤️

So glad all went well. I have often heard the pulmonary unit is the remaining bright spot at Mission and apparently has not suffered the problems and cuts of most of the other departments have under HCA. I also hear the pizza vendor in the dining facility is first rate!
