I would like to thank the Bostian Heights EMT and Rowan County EMS workers who came to 320 Cromer Road on Aug. 5 for your help. Without you, I wouldn’t be here today. After you sent me to the hospital, I was diagnosed with blood clots in both lungs, and I’m lucky to be alive.

I also would like to thank Dr. David Templeton and the staff of the emergency room at Rowan Regional Medical Center for taking such great care of me; Dr. Gary Fink, who took care of me during and after my stay at Rowan Regional; and Dr. Rajendra Solanki and all of the hospital staff for taking care of me and making me well again.
