I came into the emergency in April with a possible heart attack and was kept over for observation. Cecelia was my nurse. She was very thorough and asked many questions. I had been having swallowing problems and lump feeling in my throat. She mentioned feeding problems often are confused with the problems I had and told the doctors. She wondered why I hadn't had a throat swallow test. I asked her if she could arrange it. Within a half-hour she came back and said they would be doing one that morning. They did and found nothing serious (probably age, I'm 87), muscle weakness, narrowing of the throat. I was much relieved that a test had been done. Thanks, Cecelia.
