Very Good Care

We'd like everyone to know that we are confident that Dad is getting top-notch medical care. Prince Georges Hospital Center has a very active Trauma Center, and deals with Traumatic Brain Injuries daily.

There are many highly-trained "eyes and ears" watching Dad and caring for him:

• Dad is assigned a Critical Care Nurse on a 1-on-1 basis at all times.
  
• Mark Anderson, a Physician's Assistant in Neurosurgery was on site and very closely involved in his care (hands-on) day and night Saturday and Sunday.
  
• Dad's neurological care is supervised by Neurosurgeon Dr. Joel Falik. This Physician is responsible for Dad's neurologic health.
  
• Dad's overall care is supervised by a specialized physician called an "Intensivist". The intensivist focuses not only on the neurologic health, but on the health of all of Dad's other organs.
• My father in law, Dr. Patrick Lawrence, is a very experienced interventional cardiologist, and is involved in Dad's care. He has also helped interpret the medical terms so we better understand Dad's situation.
• Thanks to Dad's colleague, Franco, Dr. Alessandro Olivi has joined Dad's medical team. Dr. Olivi is Director of Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. Dad always said to get 2nd opinions from Johns Hopkins. :)
