The hospital was just awarded a $100k grant for making improvements to prevent pneumonia, acute myo-cardio infarction and surgical infection in patients. <BR/><BR/>Eden is now officially recognized as one of the Top 400 hospitals for these improvements. <BR/><BR/>Nurses deserve praise too. They are still the unsung heroes of medical care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-28217156114856079752008-10-29T15:33:00.000-04:002008-10-29T15:33:00.000-04:00Hi, Paul,I have worked in healthcare for many year...Hi, Paul,<BR/>I have worked in healthcare for many years, and so enjoy your blog!<BR/>Andrew Wagner performed a radical nephrectomy on my husband in 2007. I cannot say enough good things about him. I was astounded at his timely response to emails. The doc's at my suburban hospital would say they are "too busy"......but Dr. Wagner told me email is "very much the culture at BIDMC.<BR/>Congratulations!<BR/>GratefulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-23796213489492876302008-10-29T02:37:00.000-04:002008-10-29T02:37:00.000-04:00Excellent LetterThe InfininityExcellent Letter<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://hair-removal-tecnique.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">T</A><A HREF="http://diet-best-article.blogspot.com//" REL="nofollow">h</A><A HREF="http://skin-care-article.blogspot.com///" REL="nofollow">e</A> <A HREF="http://global-warming-information.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">I</A><A HREF="http://beauty-tips-information.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">n</A><A HREF="http://weight-loss-best-information.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">f</A><A HREF="http://acne-treatment-fact.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">i</A><A HREF="http://loans-best-info.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">n</A><A HREF="http://home-security-information.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">i</A><A HREF="http://diabetes-best-article.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">n</A><A HREF="http://insurance-information-article.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">i</A><A HREF="http://refinancing-information-article.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">t</A><A HREF="http://adwarespywarearticle.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">y</A>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06017069045825528692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-11260062876063540162008-10-28T22:29:00.000-04:002008-10-28T22:29:00.000-04:00Thank goodness that we still have docs like Dr. Wa...Thank goodness that we still have docs like Dr. Wagner around. He should be doing as much training of residents as possible. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-86296817666372922712008-10-28T13:08:00.000-04:002008-10-28T13:08:00.000-04:00I've been in healthcare for almost 25 years and ha...I've been in healthcare for almost 25 years and have learned to accept a certain level of medical/surgical incompetence. Sad, but true. <BR/><BR/> We are, however, human and therefore mistakes will be made. I am not trying to make excuses. It is the human condition. What is unique at BIDMC is a willingness to be open and explain situations which in most cases would remain secret and hidden from legal discovery. I applaud Paul Levy and his ability to move into a new realm. He's setting a new standard on the East Coast, which is more than just transparent, it's clearly honest. <BR/><BR/>Let's hope the rest of the nation follows suit.

He offered his email and responded and even called 2 days and the night before the surgery just to make sure I was going okay. Those physicians are hard to come by when you do they make an extraordinary difference. <BR/><BR/>I was also hoping to talk to you about placing a link on your site. The link focuses on information regarding cancer. Could you please contact me at curecancer1 at gmail dot come? Thanks so much and I hope you have a wonderful week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
