I wish to thank the doctors, who went beyond the call of duty, consistent with their Hippocratic Oath, to ensure the proper treatment and care for me. I wish to thank the nurses, the respiratory technicians, psychosocial therapists, support staff (janitors, caterers) and other technicians serving at the hospital, who so selflessly assisted in the course of my treatment and care. The team is doing such a wonderful job. They are miracle workers. I certainly cannot thank them enough.”
