Earlier this week, I checked into Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas for a scheduled surgery.
I chose to go with no concern that I would become infected with Ebola.
I don’t want to discount the loss and worry of possible Ebola carriers, but my care at Presbyterian was the best one could have ever received.
This was also the case when I had my first surgery there in 2013, and I still felt this way upon entering the hospital this past Tuesday.
The professionalism of each care person and the peace displayed in my room helped me feel completely confident.
I stayed four days as part of my recovery and in that time, I asked some of the staff about how they were feeling.
I could feel their woundedness from the impact that the media frenzy has had on the hospital’s reputation and the perceptions of the Dallas community.
However, I have no doubt these brave and dedicated professionals will rise up past this time because of who they are in the care industry.
