Physician of the Month
Mark Feldman, M.D., Surgery resident
 “I
would like to acknowledge Dr. Mark Feldman for exemplary, phenomenal
teamwork on March 6. My patient in MICU had no IV access despite
multiple attempts by both nurses and anesthesia. The medicine resident
was unable to successfully place a central line and immediately called
the surgical team for assistance. Dr. Feldman was here in minutes and
placed a central line quickly and without difficulty. If it were not
for Dr. Feldman this patient may have had a completely different
outcome. We here in the MICU are immensely grateful.

“Donna
Pauley was one of my husband’s nurses on 8W, Room 877. I have never had
a better experience with a nurse. She went beyond the call of
duty and was very helpful to me as we learned of my husband’s cancer
diagnosis. I told her I wanted to take her with us to ART when we
transferred. We also had a CA by the first name of Alison. She was a
great people person and treated my husband very well.

“We
thoroughly enjoyed our stay with MUSC! Everyone from the labor and
delivery including Becky, Olivia, the entire team of nurses and
physicians, and especially Dr. (Laura) Goetzl and Dr. Ashley Ryan, who
Lila said were especially helpful. We also want to recognize the
postpardum team of doctors, nurses (Tina and Liz) and techs (Monica and
Kelly). Special thanks to Jeanne B., the lactation consultant, for her
encouraging words. One big thanks to Dr. Erin Swanson for going
out of her way to be the one who performed the circumcision. Everyone
made our experience having our first child very memorable. We will be
back!

Ali Linnemann, R.N., PCICU
 “My
son is 3 months old and had a ventricular septal defect. He had surgery
Friday morning and I was terrified as any mother would be. Ali watched
my son so closely and was so good to me and my husband! There is no way
I could ever thank Ali for the kindness and professionalism she showed
towards us. I was hoping that maybe this would help show her how much
we love her and how much she helped us through the roughest and hardest
time in our lives. Everyone says this is a common defect; it is not so
common when it is your child and Ali understood this! Please at least
let Ali know that we tried to nominate her and that we will never
forget the kindness and compassion she showed. Thank you Ali, love to
you from the Devlin-Hamilton family. P.J. sends his love, from the
bottom of his healthy heart!”
