Good Job!

The following is from a Thank You card received in PACU:

To The Recovery Room

"First off I'm sorry if I have forgot someone, but there are only two names I remember but I know enough people were involved with saving my life. I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart, I was probably a pain in the ass too, so thank youo for putting upn with me. I really remember Betty being there for me and for always's letting me use the swab to wet my mouth, I was just dying of thirst, ha ha. But Thank you very much for putting up with me I am not the nicest person when I'm in that state apparently. You guys deal with that everyday and I admire you for that.

Thank you very much
God Bless,
Conrad P.
