• Wanted to commend Dawn Rose – evening nurse.  Very professional, excellent care.  All of the staff at HaysMed have provided excellent care.
• Nurses in ICU were great.  2^nd floor nurses were outstanding, very pleasant and professional
• Treated very good.  Communication of nurses and doctors “wonderful”.  Spoke on level we could understand.  I use to hate ER but this time I came at 2 in the morning and was treated like royalty.  They were great.  I was taken to ICU and treated just as good.  I hated to leave.  Then up to 2^nd floor – these people were just as good.  When I left a hug was given – they were very special to me.  I would give A+ rating to the whole bunch.
