Certainly is a small world isn't it! I don't know Hugo Chan but the

guy I am talking about is Tang. When I had him, I think I

remember him saying his wife was pregnant and in Singapore? He was

wonderful!

I remember the old short stay place. The only one I ever stayed

in. The last time I was there they changed their policy and I

didn't have to stay overnight. I do remember the short stay unit

being kind of a " make shift " place maybe? There were no windows in

the rooms and I think the shower was down the hall. I usually wound

up staying two nights. I remember a couple nurses but not their

names. One was a lady who I think was getting ready to retire. She

was so nice to me. She would always bring coffee when she was

getting a cup. The other nurse had long dark hair and kept it in a

pony tail but high up like " I dream of Jeanie. " I can't remember

anymore. I just remember I didn't like the no window part. I bet

you took care of me sometime between 97 and 00! How funny! If I

saw your picture I might remember.

I am sure MUSC has its problems like all places. But as for

pancreas care, to me it would not matter how far I had to travel to

get there! I don't remember Dr. Schindler. I remember a nurse in

the DDC who got me ready for the ERCP named Colleen and an older

nurse I can't remember her name.

Again, small wonderful world!
