The other people were outstanding. The doctor was great, only had one problem with a nurse, but the nighttime nurse was phenomenal, she even hummed when she put in an IV. So you didn't worry about it, you were thinking about what song. I'm going to write a letter about her. Anyway, thank you very much.
