Dear Editor,

I鈥檓 95 and live in an assisted living facility here in 91原创.

I recently had a rather nasty, late night fall, in my apartment that required my being transported to 91原创 Memorial Hospital (LMH) for treatment.

The reason I鈥檓 writing this letter (or more precisely having it written for me), is to express my gratitude to the staff at Avalon Seniors Residence for their prompt attention.

I also wanted to say how professional and well treated I was by the paramedics.

They went above and beyond the call of duty to perform their initial treatment and to ensure I was comfortable and at ease on the trip to LMH.

Finally, I want to say how impressed I was with the newly renovated and updated 91原创 Memorial Hospital.

The nursing staff were superb and kept me warm and comfortable in a not too bright environment.

The physician who treated me was amazing, and took the time to explain what she had to do, then did what she had to do, and then told me what she had done.

The experience, while not the most pleasant, was made so much easier by all the amazing staff that attended to me.

To each of them, my heartfelt thanks.

In these COVID times, we hear so much about overworked first responders and how they are stressed out and many seem to have given up hope.

Well, I鈥檓 here to say that all the first responders who I dealt with were truly professional and made me feel like my immediate medical problem was the most important thing going on, and for this I am truly grateful.
