In defense of Bayonne Medical Center

To the Editor:
A few months ago, I was hospitalized with congestive heart failure. After reading the recent “survey” taken regarding heart patients and their treatment, I would like to say the following: Dr. Muhammad Bhatty was my attending physician, and the care he gave me while a patient was more than I could ever expect. When leaving to go home, he explained everything I needed to know in “laymen’s” terms and was patient with me when I asked any questions.
There was also a nurse on my floor, Andy Molino, who took care of me and blessed me with her caring heart. She gave me printed material all about heart failure and made me feel safe and secure leaving to return home.
I thank the staff, Nurse Molino and Dr. Bhatty for their love, care and compassion while I was a patient at BMC.
May God continue to bless you all for your loving work.
