Letter to the Editor

Your view: Thanks

Tuesday, September 14, 2004

We are writing this letter to show our appreciation to Dr. Said, Dr. Wadi, Missouri Delta Medical Center and the Sikeston Dialysis Unit. The care that Cecil Daugherty received at both facilities extended above and beyond our expectations. Dr. Said and Dr. Wadi definitely went above and beyond the call of duty and our words cannot express the heartfelt gratitude we have for both of them. The doctors, F wing nurses and staff treated our family member as if he were one of their own. The love and support they showed toward him and his visitors deserves much praise and admiration.

Cecil Daugherty was also a dialysis patient for about a year before his passing in August. We should be very thankful that Sikeston has such a state of the art facility in our community. The nursing staff becomes more like family to the patient than rather just a nurse doing their job. All the nurses in that department work long, tiresome hours and yet they still maintain their professionalism and smile.

We want to thank all of you for a job well done and to let you now that you all haven't gone unnoticed.

Our love and prayers,

The family of Cecil Daugherty
