“At 37 weeks pregnant, I experienced a sudden, sharp pain that put me in the emergency room. It was such a scary time. And, being from the east side of the state, I had no support system. No friends or family. Even my husband was out of town. To make matters worse, tests showed that my uterus had ruptured and I needed an emergency C-section. I was terriﬁed, but the wonderful people at Bronson Battle Creek cared for me like I was family. My nurse stayed with me even after her shift ended. She told me she was my support system now, and I shouldn’t worry about a thing. I’m eternally grateful for the doctors who delivered my beautiful baby and saved my life. And for all those who were so good to me and stayed by my side.” Jeanetta Fitzgerald, Battle Creek, Michigan, March 28, 2014
