The caregivers and staff on the Inpatient Rehab Unit at Doctors Hospital gave me back my life.

The caregivers and staff on the Inpatient Rehab Unit at Doctors Hospital gave me back my life. When my leg was suddenly amputated due to an acute medical condition, I wasn’t sure how to go on living. I was brought to Doctors and my entire experience on the Inpatient Rehab Unit was a positive one. They took the time to teach me the necessary daily skills I would need, and challenged me when I needed to be challenged. When I was discharged, I was able to go home and live independently and that’s what I wanted most. I’m now living each day to its fullest!
