Del Herfurth: Mercy provided quality, professional, compassionate care

I would like to thank the doctors, nurses and technicians at Mercy Medical Center. My visit was potentially life threatening. After assessing my condition, treatment was started right away. Every person was professional, as well as kind.

I especially thank two nurses for their compassion. The first is the night nurse in the ER who took care of me on Nov. 24. The second, but not the last, was the day nurse on the 4th floor the following days. I am sorry I can’t remember your names, but I will never forget you.

Del Herfurth, Merced
