Thank you, Dana, for listening to my husband, the patient. He had a blockage in his small intestine and was trying to get clear enough for a colonoscopy. He had taken over 10 liters of Golytely. Somehow his upper heart chambers went in a spasm mode. He asked you to take a listen to his heart because it did not seem right. You did and said, no that doesn't seem right.
You came back with a team that confirmed the rapid top chambers had caused the lower chambers to follow suit. It was your quick action that brought oxygen, medicine and my husband's efforts to turn things from bad - to good.
Thank you for trusting your instincts and listening to your patient.
