I always look forward to your articles. I have learned a lot from them. The one you wrote about the women with chest pain was especially important to me. It finally gave an answer to the problem I have had over the last several years. I now know that there IS a reason why I have chest pain but was basically told to go home and not worry about it. If I had not read that article I would have thought I was imagining the pain. I wouldn't have been able to have the MCG test from Dr. Shen either. I am very thankful for you writing that particular article as well as all the ones since. They have made a difference in my life for the better!

I have meant to say this for some time now, but my life is so much better as a result of your work. I have lost significant weight by following your recommendations, and have prioritized my health in the past year.

You are a beacon of hope; may your ideas about how we can improve healthcare in this country are heard and continue to effect real change. Thank you!!
