To the Editor:
I have some observations regarding the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital. Over the years — more than 40 — I have been treated at M.V.H. for a number of problems, including my attempt to cut my own leg off with a chainsaw, tularemia, two hernias, and most recently, a pulmonary embolism, for which I was discharged today, Jan. 6.
Through the years, from the old facility to the new more luxurious building, one element has always stood out, and that is the corps of dedicated, steadfast, and competent nurses that are in my opinion the backbone of the organization. This is no doubt due to their familiarity with the community, and low turnover/continuity.
If you have ever used a hospital facility anywhere else on the planet, you know what I mean. My heartfelt thanks for all that you are and that you do.
