Hi, this is [PATIENT NAME]. I have a doctor, Harrington, and her nurses and social workers, they've been very, very, very heartwarming and good to me and helped me with my pain for seven years and I couldn't ask for a better doctor than her. I care about her so much and she cared about me and on one of the numbers I pushed the one accidentally and I meant to push a four so you'll know it's one to have the one. But Dr. Harrington and her nurses and social workers at UAMS helped save my life from me, hurting from pain real bad. So I care and love y'all so much for helping me and helping me live and keeping me from hurting so bad. I thank you so much. May God bless you and help others. If I could help any other cancer patient, let me know. In Jesus' name, Amen.

My visits there all the time is wonderful, great. The nurses are great, my doctor's great. They listen to everything that I say and make sure that I'm not hurting. And everything's wonderful. I couldn't ask for a better doctor or the better doctor's hospital. And UAMS Dr. Harrington's the most wonderful doctor out of all my 14 doctors, she's one of my favorite best doctors. That she cared for me when I was almost, at my deathbed and anyhow, thank you so much. God bless, have a good day. Bye bye. I would recommend her to anybody, any family member. Thank you.
