I was out of town on a camping trip and at breakfast accidentally swallowed a large golf of coffee, and some of it went down my windpipe. That afternoon I started feeling bad and after the third day I felt so bad that I decided to leave a week early. When I got home, which was late in the evening around 8:30 pm, I decided to text my doctor and notify him what had happened and that I would like to see him in the morning. I got a phone call from him within 10 minutes of sending the text to him. After asking me several questions he said, could you meet me in the office in about 20 minutes. This is at 9:30 PM. I got dressed, my wife drove me to his office and he was waiting for us. After an examination he determined that I had aspirated pneumonia, he said I needed to be started on antibiotics to address it since I had had it for three or four days , He found and called a all night pharmacy and placed a prescription to have it waiting for me. I started to leave and he asked me to sit down. He wanted to remind me that he provides 24/7 response. He told me that he had looked up the location where I was camping and discovered there was an all night pharmacy 30 miles away from the campground. He said he could’ve called in a prescription for me then if I had called or text him after it happened. His attention to his patients and desire to give them the best medical care has endeared him to me and my family, if all M.D., VIP doctors are as good as Dr Gregory Hood , it is the best practices you can join.
