Rick Marschall saved my cousin's life in 2013.  She had gallbladder surgery and began to get sick the same day.  OMAC had no idea what was wrong with her and sent her home.  We went to the ER several times over a month, for extreme pain, inability to eat anything, vomiting -- she lost 70 in just over 30 days.  They finally told us, rudely, to go home, nothing was wrong.

We went to Dr. Marschall and he ran one blood test -- CBC --  and he sent us to Harborview.  They found a spinal abscess.  They told us that we got there JUST IN TIME.  Any later, even a day later, and she would have, at best, been wheelchair bound for the rest of her life.  And worst, she would have died.  She had 3 surgeries for the multiple abscesses -- it had spread to her lungs and kidneys.  And had a month stay at Harborview and a year of physical therapy.  

I am so glad for his service to the community.  Though I wish he'd let the HCG go. Because now he won't be there for anyone in the future.
