"I was visiting the springs in HCA Florida Ocala Hospital when I was involved in a four car accident on HWY 27 near downtown. I was ejected from the car and landed on the pavement. A nurse from HCA Florida Ocala Hospital saw the accident, had her daughter call 911 and the nurse performed CPR on me. I came to HCA Florida Ocala Hospital as a trauma alert and went into surgery for hours. I was in the hospital for almost a month and the list of my injuries is so long but every single day is getting better. So many people at HCA Florida Ocala Hospital supported me and worked diligently to maintain my vitals so I would survive. I feel very blessed and feel like I have a second chance at life."
