12:18 pm
they were ready to do what health care professionals do, take care of patients. i'm very proud of them. this community responded as you would expect to. they stood up, they ran to danger. they took care of a person regardless of what he had done or allegedly had done. to us, he was a patient that needed help. that's what we did. i also had the opportunity to talk to the nurse yesterday morning. we talked for about 20 minutes. a very impressive young man. his parents should be very proud of him. i also came back later in the day after the steelers game, of course. that's religion around here. i talked to the shooter. i just wanted to see him. i was curious as to what this gentleman was and to make sure he was being taken care of. as the president of the hospital, there are lots of people we visit.
