Dr. Benson saved my life by calling me at home on a weeknight at 7 pm to tell me that I needed to admit myself to the hospital immediately. Not the next morning, but right then. Without going into extensive detail, I discovered later that my liver was on the verge of a complete shutdown. I could easily have died had he not taken immediate action. I thank him every time I see him for going above and beyond to save me.
