Approximately three years ago on a Sunday I was helping my son work cows, of course I am climbing up and over the corral fences around the lot. Before we were finished I wasn't feeling good and came to the house to sit down and rest, I then got up and laid on the bed. My wife and my son wanted me to go to the hospital but we all know a 67 year old man thinks it will pass and everything will be fine. My son went into another room and called Doctor Cooksey's personal cell phone then brought me the phone to talk to the doctor. Dr. Cooksey informed me that if I wanted to hang around for another 50 years with my beautiful bride that I had better go to the emergency room to be checked out. I took his advice over all others, after being admitted I found out that I had had a heart attack and there was an 85% blockage, I had stents that day. The next day my wife had a doctors appointment with Dr. Cooksey while I was still in the hospital, Dr. Cooksey asked her how I was doing and naturally she thanked him for insisting that I go to the emergency room that day. Before she left her visit that day Dr. Cooksey asked her if it would be okay if he said a prayer for us, and of course it was. They held hands in his office as he said the best prayer of all times according to my wife. I may not have been able to write this letter had it not been for Dr. Cooksey's insisting that I go to the emergency room. I have since made a full recovery and life is great. My whole family are patients of Dr. Cooksey, there is not another more competent, caring, personal, and loving Dr. on the planet than Dr. Cooksey.
