Stories from Grateful Patients: Paul

In His Own Words...

"When I became disabled I went from being an active middle class professional to being dependent on assistance from agencies and my county and case manager. It's still not easy to accept, but folks like these make it possible. I had surgery first brain implants to control essential tremor in July and a follow up in August to turn them on. Without Mercy Medical Angels I would not have been able to afford the necessary travel to Mayo Clinic. Mercy Medical Angels has been a lifeline during these past 2-1/2 years for the testing and surgery. Thank you very much. I recommend your services every chance I get."
