Dear Dr. Swindle,

Thank you.

A simple phrase and easy to say. The significance of the appreciation that goes beyond the thank you can never be truly stated in words.

Thank you for perhaps saving my life.

Thank you for taking charge of an unusual situation and making timely and wise decisions.

Thank you for, as my Canadian physician stated, your aggressive treatment of my coronary condition.

Lastly, thank you for being persistent in not allowing the insurance company to send me back to Canada, without having the angiogram in Mexico.

The speed with which you responded to my condition and the concern for my well being, and Colleen's was greatly appreciated.

We know things would not have happened as quickly in Canada and we were glad to be in your capable hands in Mexico.

My wife (Colleen) and I would also like to take this opportunity to say a very heart-felt thank you to the staff at AmeriMed Hospital for the care, concern, and medical attention I received during treatment for my heart attack and coronary condition on March 9, 2000.

All of the doctors and medical staff at the AmeriMed hospital were wonderful and did all they could to make an unfortunate situation positive and pleasant. Please thank Dr. Jaime Arturo Castaneda G. on our behalf. His concern and support was very helpful during the air ambulance flight to Guadalajara.

A special thank you goes to Terri for all her time, effort, and hard work in getting the insurance approvals. Thank you so much!

Certainly, if we come back to Puerto Vallarta, we would like to express our appreciation to you in person.

Even in this unfortunate circumstance, we will always have fond memories of you, the kindness of the people in Mexico, in Puerto Vallarta, and the AmeriMed Hospital.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Vince and Colleen Hanson
