My first
exposure to Jackson Hospital was back in 1965 at the age of 6, when a dog ripped my ear almost completely off. Mom
rushed me to the ER, where Dr. Lightfoot skillfully stitched it back up. As a child I was treated by Dr. Brock and Dr. Barnes, who
were Jackson staff members. Growing older, I later graduated into the fine care of Dr. John Webb and Dr. Phillip Robinson.
The only time I’ve ever been hospitalized was for three days in 1997 with some stomach issues, which would be diagnosed as
outpatient today. However, I received very fine care from the staff and Drs. Webb and Robinson. In fact, while living in Florida, I
drove up here a couple of times with health issues to see Dr. Robinson. He really had a great personality and a wonderful bedside
manner.
Unfortunately, my mother was in and out of Jackson several times before she passed away in 2000
from complications involving stroke and diabetes. The care she received at Jackson from the nursing staff
was phenomenal. Their attentiveness and expertise was beyond comparison—always there when we
needed them with a good attitude and very caring. When mom died just before Christmas, I could not
bring the nursing staff enough candy to thank them for their dedication.
Just months after my Mom passed, my Dad’s esophagus ruptured. He was rushed to Jackson ER,
where Dr. Stephen Kwan called it a “one in a million” thing. He gave Dad about a 30 percent chance of
survival prior to surgery. Though I knew the situation was in God’s hands, once again the Jackson staff
saved him and nursed him back to health.
As with Mom, the staff was super in their treatment. After being diagnosed with diabetes myself, I
have been under the fine care of Dr. Glenn Yates. I joke with him that he runs a close second to
Dr. Robinson. Though my family has dwindled, “Jackson will always be my hospital.”
