As a milestone birthday approaches, I reflect back on the past decade or so of my life. I am one lucky girl! Specifically I think about ADC and Dr. Ovuworie. He has had such an influence on my life, I don’t know where I would be without him.

– Susan Cash

I had a transplant in 2001 and life was perfect. I was never sick and I was able to do anything I wanted to do. In 2012 I got sick, real sick. I called Dr. O and told him I didn’t feel well. I was immediately admitted to UMC where it was determined that I was in serious rejection. I was there for about 3-4 weeks, and Dr. O brought in the UMC Transplant Swat Team. Everyone tried their best to savemy kidney. The treatment was worse than the disease.

– Michael Anderson

Dr. O was there at all hours of the day and night, he prayed with me and explained what was going on and what they expected to happen. He was totally honest with me about my prognosis. Finally, when I couldn’t take any more blood transfusions, plasma treatments and everything else they did to me, I had to tell Dr. O, that I had enough and I wanted to go home. He listened to me, he understood how I was feeling, and did what needed to be done.

– Daniel Armstrong

I eventually went home and eventually did lose my kidney and went on dialysis at ADC. I never considered going anywhere else. I knew that as long as I was in Dr. O’s care I was going to be alright.

– Oliver Baker

Then, just when I thought nothing else could go wrong, I got sick again. This time I ended up at Centennial Hospital. 1 had fallen five times and had two auto accidents. It was like I would lose my focus and things would get out of hand. Eventually I fell and broke my foot and hit my head on the tile in the bathroom at home. I thought my foot was just sprained and walked on it for ten days. When I got to the ER at Centennial an x-ray was take and the ER physicians literally swarmed me, to go into surgery. Guess what happened next, Dr. O showed up at the ER and put a stop to the surgery until I could be stabilized.

– Jack Barnes

After he left the ER doctor wanted to discharge me if I was not going to have the surgery. This was at 11 pm at night, and guess what, Dr. O came to the hospital and put a stop to my discharge. The next day I went into a “non-responsive” state and Dr. O called in the best doctors he knew and after a few days I woke up. Meanwhile my family was blowing up his cell phone trying to get information.

– Anderson Butler

I eventually had the surgery on my foot (please feel free to come by and sign my hot pink cast) and I went to Rehab for a couple of weeks and then home. I guess what I am trying to say is that Dr. O has been a big part of my life and I am grateful for every day and I really want to say thanks to him for all of his care, compassion and insistence that the right thing be done when it comes to his patients.

– Thomas Carter

We are blessed to have him on our side.
Thanks Doc.
