I don’t let anything stop me, but I would stay home because I was embarrassed and ashamed,” said Ziegler, 57, who five years ago developed transverse myeletis, a neurological disorder caused by inflammation of the spinal cord that can develop after a viral infection.

“I just received a CAT scan and I wanted to call and put in a good word for Stephanie (CT Tech). She did a real nice job. She is very talented & professional but also added the human element with a good bedside manner. It was a very pleasant experience for getting an IV and going through the machine. I could sense that she has a very blessed way of making people feel at ease. Thank you - it was one of the most comfortable procedures that have had in a long time and I have had a number of these over the years. I just want to give her a well-deserved pat on the back. You guys are doing a good job. Thank you- I think the work that you do, support people like me, because if we find things that need to be looked at further -it could mean saving a lot of lives- thank you very much. It's pleasure working with you - keep up the really good work …” -WL

“Thank you for the help and care you’ve given me since becoming your patient. I worked for a wonderful orthopedic surgeon who often cared for patients two other surgeons did not do the best job with. I wrote that so you’d understand how difficult it can be for me to trust physicians. That said, your competence and caring made it easy to trust you and I really appreciate being your patient. Doctors like you are increasingly rare.” With gratitude, JDR

"I just want you to give Dr. Boline some praise for me. I had my mom there for an appointment. He is so very nice and kind and I love the way he speaks directly to my mother. She is 85 and some doctors have a tendency to ignore her and talk to me. I know that often you only hear complaints, and that is part of my job, to listen to them. I just wanted him to know how great my mom thinks he is and I do too!!!!" -AH
