Care appreciated

To the Journal editor:

At this time of Thanksgiving, I would like to take your time to express our thanks and gratitude: There has been much negative publicity about medical care of military veterans at Veterans Administration hospitals.

I have a positive story to share about care by husband, Bruce Dupras, a Vietnam veteran, received at the VA Hospital in Iron Mountain.

From his very first appointment with Dr. Courland to his last ER visit and hospital stay ’till the time of his death on Oct. 17, he received the most excellent care from his oncologist Dr. Zingh and his very caring staff, ER staff and Dr. Jamieson, fourth floor nursing staff and Dr. Webster, his therapists, especially Eli (speech) on each and every visit and stay in the VA hospital.

I have never seen or experienced such caring and compassionate care for not only him but his family as well. I would be remiss in not mentioning physician’s assistants Ewers and Martha at our local veterans clinic located at the Marquette Medical Center.

Our most sincere thanks and gratitude to all of you.
