Cooley Dickinson rocks! I’m 70 and just had my initiation to an overnight visit to the ER.

I went in experiencing a vision anomaly that was quite scary. The attention I received over the next 18 hours was truly outstanding. I felt compassion, skill and competence everywhere I turned. After a CT scan and MRI (and I am severely claustrophobic) Dr. Evan Altman looked me in the eye and said plainly, “No stroke!”

Thanks to Dr. A and the nursing and support staff of the third floor west. You are appreciated.
