Recently I had a large, painful infected abscess and had to go the emergency room at LMH. Dr. Konie was called in and surgically repaired my abscess at about 2:00 am. He did a great job and I felt much better the next day. But I had to go into his office every day and have a nurse change my dressing until the infection healed. This took almost 2 months. For the various nurses who did this dressing change, it was not always easy and sometimes unpleasant. But they did an outstanding job and I can't thank them enough. My father was also a general surgeon, my mother was a nurse, and I have a nephew who is a nurse. So, I have a great appreciation for all levels of the medical profession, particularly when they do an outstanding job, as they did with me. Kudos to all of them. read more
