  • Patient expresses gratitude for hospital staff
    On Dec. 6, I had carotid artery surgery performed by Dr. David Kastl and his team at Hilton Head Hospital. I encountered 12 to 15 different workers at the hospital in my short stay there, and each and every one of them was totally professional, considerate, thoughtful and caring in every way possible. Dr. Kastl was magnificent, and I understand that his team was handpicked and certainly the best a patient could hope for.

    I wish to thank you for your news accounts of the French award of the Legion of Honor medal for my service in France in World War II. It was a tremendous surprise to me and something I am extremely proud and honored to wear. The ceremony was in the French Consulate in Atlanta on Jan. 12, and included other World War II veterans.
