THANK YOUS Portland resident gives kudos to St. Anthony I was recently in Pendleton for the Football Hall of Fame weekend and the unveiling of the Requa bronze. While there, I had a health scare and was rushed to St. Anthony Hospital. The emergency care specialists wasted no time in getting me back to a stable condition. John and Rob took total control of the situation and certainly got my full attention. There was no question I was in the hands of real professionals. Once my condition was stabilized, I was placed in the care of nurses Janice and Nacole for the next few days. Janice was referred to as Nurse Ratchet, a character from Ken Kesey’s “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” by a number of my visitors because she kicked everyone out of my room for getting me too excited and raising my blood pressure. It was done in good spirit, though, and visitors left with a smile, understanding that it was for my welfare and respecting her request when she said no more guests in a voice that clearly meant it. I found Dr. Reddy a very capable and caring individual who not only looked in on me at all times of the day and night, but after I was discharged, called me at home on his day off to check on me. St. Anthony is a small hospital and can’t do everything a big city hospital can, but what it does do is absolutely outstanding. The citizens of Pendleton can take pride in their hospital and its staff. Thank you St. Anthony.
