This letter from a patient's family member says it all, and we love hearing it:
“Thought you’d be glad to hear that my cousin from Minnesota is getting great care at Duke Hospital right now. She has had a leak in her spinal fluid for a few years and finally got connected to doctors at Duke and we are hopeful they can patch her up. She’s had 3 failed patches [at another medical facility]. She is over the moon with the kindness and attention and explanations and respect as a patient that she is receiving (from doctors to nurses and admin). We are all grateful for the care she is receiving!
The wonderful doctor is Michael Malinzak. And the amazing news is that they found her spinal fluid leak with their cool photon imaging machine. And there is a plan and a backup plan, after my cousin had almost lost hope over the last few years.
Thank you for all you do to make Duke Hospital so so good!”
