As a critical care physician, I’m used to treating patients in need. But the day I collapsed on my bedroom floor, the right side of my body paralyzed, I was the one needing advanced care — and I needed it fast. 

I was rushed by ambulance to Community, where I work. 

The team recognized I was having a stroke and performed emergency surgery to remove the blood clot in my brain. It was successful, and by the miracle of modern medicine, I was back to work in 10 days. 

When it comes to treating a stroke, every second counts. My family and I are so thankful to my Community for acting quickly and saving my life.
