    I'm speaking of Dr. Nora Barrett, who is one of the shining stars of Mass General Brigham Hospital. I am a patient of hers, and she did save me from being in the emergency room all the time for my asthma. She actually fought to get me the type of medicine that would do some good. After getting that medicine, I haven't set foot in the emergency room in a year because I now have the appropriate medicine. It's not often you see a doctor who is smart, personable, curious about alternatives, and just all of the things you would want from a doctor. Dr. Barrett is all of that and more. I just, I'm happy of that.
