Oct 08, 2023
I had internal bleeding and UPMC McKeesport told the ambulance if you dont get him to Mercy RIGHT NOW hes dead.. Garth Elias pulled out all the stops... Hes Super with bedside manner as well.. I should have died.. They had to do exploritory surgery to locate where all the blood was comming from.. Hes a Clinical Professor of Burn and Trauma surgery so that tells you everything you need to know. MERCY AND PRESBY have this guy teaching other surgeons..
