    I appreciate everybody at Brigham and Women's. You guys got me in quickly. I'm from [redacted], Maine, and was sick up here for 17 months until I got sent down there. You guys figured out what it was, did the testing that needed to be done, made it efficient for me to travel from [redacted]. Somebody would always call me or let me know what was going on and they sent results to my physician up here. After being seen in Boston, you can look at my records. I have made huge leaps and bounds of getting better. I'm actually moving now, walking, exercising. I really appreciate everything from Dr. [redacted] to nurses to lab technicians to x-ray technicians to Dr. Doughty for making me better.
