Stop judging

Just wanted to say that it was very poor of the reporter to even write such stuff about Dr. Patteson. We're all human; we all at times need help. Also, I would like to say he has been my doctor off and on for 20 years and was my daughter's and son's doctor. He started seeing us when she was 3 months old. Also he has seen my granddaugther since she was born, and now she's 13 years old.

He saved my life last year in September. I had started having TIA's and went into his office and just one look at me and he told me I was having strokes. He put me in the hospital that day and not long afterward came the heart doctors and I had to have surgery.

I would like to give the doctor a great big thanks. He's been a great doctor and friend, and will surely tell you what he thinks and that's how it should be. I surely hope the doctor stays and doesn't let ugly things run him off. Some people or lots in this town need to stop judging folks and live their own life and let others alone.
