She had been struggling with severe depression and anxiety, but is now described as a "normal girl" again. Another patient stayed at the facility for seven days and received care for a serious condition that had caused significant fluid retention. They had 11 liters of fluid removed from their abdomen and lost a total of 40 pounds. The patient praised the caring nurses and doctors, including Yocelyn, Guadalupe, Luna, Kaitlyn, and five unnamed doctors. The patient suggested hiring a Master Chef to add more flavor to the cafeteria food, which they found to be a bit bland. A third patient had two positive experiences in the gastro department's ER, highlighting the kindness and competence of the staff, particularly a nurse named Barb. The patient expressed gratitude for Barb's ability to keep them comfortable during uncomfortable procedures.
