Stories from Grateful Patients: Carol

In Her Own Words...

"I have Hemolytic Anemia and was looking for a second opinion, as I had 2 doctors giving me 2 diagnoses. I met this very kind doctor at a convention who gave me some helpful info that made me decide I needed to go see her for a final diagnosis."


"The only problem is that this doctor was in Seattle, Washington and I live in Nashville, Tennessee. I didn't know how I would get there."

"Mercy Medical Angels made this visit possible for me by arranging charitable flights. The transportation coordinator, Nicole was SO sweet and SO kind. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. She explained everything in detail and was extremely attentive to my emails! We booked with Southwest due to the distance and location, but all was well!"


"With help from Mercy Medical Angels, I traveled to Seattle and the doctor was able to rule out one of the diagnoses! We're still unsure of the second one, as I don't have a few markers that suggest it, but it's definitely Hemolytic Anemia!"


"This was my first flight and it was a fun adventure! You all have been such a blessing. Thank you ALL for the work you do for people like me and their families. As I cry typing this out, I can't thank God enough for finding you all."
