Congratulations to Brock Cookman, DO for receiving the Care Like Crazy Award!
A patient shared these kind words about Brock.
"I recently had an unexpected visit to Bryan Medical Center. It was quite a critical situation because I was dealing with three pulmonary embolisms. I had never experienced anything like this before and was all alone, without family, unsure of what to expect. Then, Dr. Brock Cookman, a cardiologist, came into my room and took the time to explain everything that was happening. He laid out the treatment plan and reassured me that everything would be okay. He also shared information about a procedure he uses for patients with my condition. He mentioned that if the blood thinners weren’t effective, a thrombectomy might be necessary. Dr. Cookman was attentive and made sure to explain all the details while showing genuine interest in my well-being. He listened to my concerns and provided me with the pros and cons of the procedure, allowing me to make an informed decision. I decided to go ahead with his suggestion for the thrombectomy, and it was a success! He told me it would take about an hour, but he completed it in just 40 minutes. The best part? I AM ALIVE! Thank you! Dr. Cookman did a fantastic job keeping me informed, and he truly deserves the “Care Like Crazy Award.” His dedication to his patients and willingness to listen makes a big difference. Thank you, Dr. Cookman! I appreciate your caring nature. Keep up the excellent work; it does not go unnoticed!"
Brock, thank you for the care you provide daily to your patients. You make a difference in the lives of others. We are honored that you are part of the Bryan Medical Staff.
