CARING DOCTOR TREATED BADLY

I am writing to show you my support toward Dr. Shah and his staff at
Advanced Care Emergi-Center in Fort Pierce. I have the utmost respect
for the wonderful care and kindness he has shown me over the past two
years.

He was the one person to help me through my back surgery. He was
always there when I needed him. He took the time to sit with me for
more than an hour while I was so depressed and upset with another
doctor's opinion on my surgery. How many other physicians would be
that thoughtful?

How can a caring, respectable doctor be treated so badly while the
streets of Fort Pierce are plagued with murderers and thieves, a man
and his staff who show compassion toward their patients? What is
becoming of this world?

The day that a person can not be treated with dignity and respect is
the day that those who prosecute should walk one day in the other
person's shoes.
