Brigham And Women's Hospital - Boston
I've been ignoring my job lately, here's why
Tuesday night my wife had a blood vessel burst in her brain.
Life as we knew it ended, but there is good news here too.
Short version of a very long a scary story...
Thanks to the miracle workers at Brigham And Womens Hospital here in Boston (more specifically a brain surgeon named Dr. Dong Kim), earlier this evening she was sitting up in a chair, talking and laughing with us while she had some toast and drank some ginger ale.
This is less than 24 hours after she had a hole the size of a softball cut in her skull to work on the damaged blood vessels in her brain.
I've never been a fan of our professional health care system, or Doctors in general for that matter, but the people at this hospital were cut from a different cloth. They weren't just "better", they were on a whole different level.
Their whole focus, in addition to the obvious (it's the #3 hospital in the world), was on how they could make things the very best possible for the patient and the family.
Can you imagine if every 'business' behaved that way?
Wouldn't be too nice, right?
Raye and I have never been religious, but we do have very strong spiritual beliefs. We've always looked at our life and commented that there had to be someone looking over us and 'steering' the ship to insure the best possible outcome for all concerned.
This has never been in doubt, but probably never been so thoroughly tested either.
That being said, we're also eternally grateful for all the prayers and positive energy that so many of you sent our way.
And I promise to get caught up on my 'support' issues over the next few days.
All the best,
Bill Enross
