A voicemail left by a patient

“I was recently in your Emergency Room, and Dr. Paul Benz was my attending physician. I want to just leave a very high commendation. He was wonderful. He listened. He paid attention. He treated. I couldn’t have asked for anything nicer or better than Dr. Paul Benz. He was absolutely the greatest. Just make sure that he gets the commendation.”
