(48) The RN asked me on my exit interview from Kearney Good Sam if I had a “Support Group” that I could rely on after my recent Cardiac events when I got home. I assured her I did. I cannot begin to thank everyone who helped me; the ambulance crew who got me to the hospital that morning, the nurses and Dr. Campbell who treated me and made sure I got to Kearney ASAP, The nurses and doctors and surgeons who treated me and got me into surgery and back into recovery. To my son Dan who was there for every step of the way. To my “Cardiac Cousin” Bill who came and got me back home. And to all my family and friends who checked on my condition and welfare everyday, even to make sure the 911 calls and Life Flights after I got home weren’t for me! I am truly blessed to call Ainsworth home and for the love and support of everyone. Michael A. Rudnick (48)
