Being prepared to face the mortality of your child - there is no such thing. In June of 2020, that…read moreis the reality my family was faced with, due to a tragic and inexplicable jet ski accident. My daughter, 12 at the time, was the third rider on a three-person jet ski. She fell off the back of the jet ski where she suffered severe trauma, and in just a matter of hours we were being told she needed life saving surgery. Spinning; our lives were completely caught in a cyclone of uncertainty, worry, fear - you name it we were feeling it. How, as a parent do you endure being faced with an impossible situation like this? Trust, you must feel the utmost of confidence in the Doctors, Surgeons, Nurses and entire hospital staff being placed in our life, very much against any will of your own. I can say with certainty that the entire staff at PRISMA HEALTH, and specifically Dr. Bhairav Shah, created an experience that we felt supported in making the most difficult decisions we had ever faced. We trusted the guidance of the Doctors and Surgeons assigned to our daughters' case, they helped us come to a decision that saved our daughters' life. A Doctor carries a heavy burden, it isn't just the operations and procedures, it is everything in between. It is the counsel, the explanations, the peace of mind, the SUPPORT - these are the ancillary complexities that make a Doctor - GREAT. This is what we experienced with Dr. Shah, as well as many others at PRISMA HEALTH. I still find my emotions raw all these months later, I find myself in awe of my now 13-year-old daughter- thriving and re-engaging to normal life once more. The resiliency of a child is nearly medicinal in and of itself, but without the support, knowledge, expertise and greatness of Dr. Shah - I can't say we would have had the same outcome. We owe the future health and future life of our daughter to the greatness and kindness we found in Dr. Shah and the amazing staff at PRISMA HEALTH. We were blessed on the worst day of our lives with one of the best - thank you Dr. Shah.
