To the Editor:
I am writing to “sing the praises” of the emergency room (ER) staff at Cape Regional Medical Center. On Dec. 1, 2016, I was taken to the ER at Cape Regional. I will not get into all the details. Let’s just say that I wasn’t feeling well for a few weeks.
After waking with another fever, my dear wife had seen enough, put me in the car and took me to my doctor, who said that I needed to get to the ER (none of which I remember).
Had it not been for the skill and abilities of the Cape Regional staff, my wife’s decision to get me to the doctor, and my doctor’s quick analysis to get me to the ER, I would not be here to write this letter.
I was in dire straits (basically dying). I was septic upon arriving at the ER, then went into respiratory distress, along with having other physical complications. Those wonderful doctors and nurses (angels) on duty in the Cape Regional ER that day and evening “saved my life.” They worked on me for several hours to stabilize my condition. I remained in the ER, closely monitored, until the next morning.
My critical condition required me to be airlifted to Cooper University Hospital in Camden where the doctors and nurses provided exceptional care in treating my condition. Upon being discharged from Cooper on Dec. 20, 2016, I was transferred to Genesis Healthcare – Court House Center for therapy and rehabilitation where I received excellent care until my discharge on Jan. 10.
Thanks to the knowledge, determination, and dedication of the staffs (angels) at Cape and Cooper, I am alive today and recovering nicely from my unforeseen “near death” ordeal.
At times, we read negative comments about our hospitals and not enough about the quality healthcare that they provide to the community. I felt it was time to say “thank you.” May God bless you all!
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
