Thanks to Dr. Matthew Standridge

Editor, The News:

I have a real bad lung problem and cannot keep a job cause nobody will work me cause of this problem. I have no money, no insurance and could not find a doctor that would help me to see what my problem is.
Then I went to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Crawfordville and talked with Dr. Matthew Standridge and told him that I had no money or insurance and it is extremely hard for me to breathe and I could not afford to pay him – but asked him if he could help me. He said that he would.
He had me do a lung test and found out what my problem is. He found out that I have a very severe case of COPD and he did this with no worries about the money or insurance that I had. He is the only doctor in the last two years that would help me with this problem.
I just want to let everyone know that there is a doctor in Crawfordville at TMH who actually cares about the people instead of money – that is a rare thing to find when you need help and you have no money.
So thank you to Dr.  Standridge. I hope you stay here in Crawfordville forever to help out people like me, but we need more people like you.
Truly, from my heart, thank you very much, Dr. Standridge.
