Dear Dr. Shu,

Words cannot express how thankful I am to you and your team for performing my surgery on Feb. 11th.

Besides the fact that you literally saved my life, I also need to tell you that the way you told me and my family about the ectopic pregnancy helped us all heal. So many friends and family have come forward to share their miscarriage or ectopic experiences with me and sadly, in many cases, unfeeling doctors have made their coping period more difficult.

The fact that you made sure we focused on my healing rather than the pregnancy we lost made all the difference for us. Also, for the little time we thought I had a healthy pregnancy, it meant so much that you shared in that joy. Because of your words, we've been able to focus on how blessed we are that you found the ectopic in time and we're still capable of conceiving in the future. Please know that you have a gift and I pray that someday I can be as successful a parent as you are a doctor.

I will never forget your kindness, integrity and true sincerity.
