"When Christina Hernon was 5, her throat swelled shut from an infection and her mother rushed her to a local Massachusetts hospital in the dead of night. She couldn't breathe, suffered a seizure and was near death when a doctor saved her by inserting a tube down her throat. Hernon is now an emergency physician at one of two hospitals in the state that are due to close on Saturday."
"Hernon and others among the 1,250 affected staff at Nashoba Valley Medical Center in Ayer and Carney Hospital in Boston believe that patients like she was will suffer and could even die as a result of the closures because they won't have time to make it to other hospitals farther away."
