Letter to the Editor: A note of appreciation for BMH

A letter to the editor thanks Brattleboro Memorial Hospital (BMH) after staff members reportedly saved the writer’s life during an emergency visit in January. The author says a friend took them to BMH for shortness of breath, and that after leaving the emergency room later that night they were unable to fully understand what had happened due to delirium. Days later, the writer learned that R., S. and their colleagues in the emergency department had helped save them, and the same staff member reportedly responded that it was simply “our job.” The letter also describes a prior abdominal surgery stay about 13 years earlier, praising nursing and therapy care. The writer encourages readers to contact BMH administration to express appreciation.
