Chesapeake Regional Medical Center: "I brought my sister in a week ago and we have had nothing but top notch care and we are being treated with respect and TLC. There are at least 5 RN's that need to be recognized as well as A DR. Beth Jeckel. We initially went to Sentara Norfolk General because my sister had been diagnosed with PAH and she signed up for a "Trial Medicine" needless to say things were not going well. I tried to reach her PAH doctor to no avail. So we went to Norfolk Sentara and the Triage RN was very short and impatient with us and quite frankly she was upset with my sister because she could not get an IV line in. I was very upset it was not her fault she was extremely dehydrated because she had been throwing up for 2 days. Needless to say I grabbed her up and we came straight here and it's been a total blessing. "THANKS GOD"" - Laura

Chesapeake Regional Medical Center: "Recently my husband had prostate surgery at CRMC and developed sepsis shortly after surgery. Returning to the emergency room he was promptly treated and for the next 5 days he was administered treatment in line with leading teaching hospitals which saved his life. Nurses on 4th floor west and next to 3rd floor CDU were excellent. They were all caring and knowledgeable. I would try to name them all but do not want to leave out anyone as they all aided in his recovery. Thank you and bless all of you." - Rebecca
