Default Thank You Mark

Mark,

I've known you for over 6 years and I have to say your dedication to people in pain has not once wavered. I've been having a very difficult run of things the last 10 months and you offered help with open arms.

I truly appreciate your help and all that you do for patients. At the end of day, I am blessed to call you a close friend.

Without your assistance, I'm sure I'd be shuffled around from one pain management doc to another, like I was. In all honesty, my PM doc looked at the report from my CT myelogram and said "I have no idea what this means." Great, the plan of action would have been: "Well, how are your meds... OK, see you in 4 weeks."

However, with Drs. Bertagnoli and Fenk-Mayer's help I am hopeful that my pain generator (as per my myelogram) will be "resolved" in one way or another, so I can start living my life again.

I'm hopeful, yet cautious, that we'll hear good news this week!

God bless you brotha'.
