In a matter of 4 weeks I was transported by ambulance (they refused to transport to UCONN) to 2 hospital emergency rooms, saw my cardiologist and my PCP 3 times. I had fallen unconscious 3 times during the night BP 80/60, fever, chills, confusion, short of breath, not eating, sleeping 18+ hours per day. We have have always had wonderful experience with my husbands doctors at UCONN. My husband brought me to UCONN Emergency Room (8/5) where I was treated by Dr. Barr. He listened, cared and made me feel comfortable. Within 11 hours he took a large amount of blood test, x-rays, Antibiotic, IV fluid, and CAT Scans. On 8/9 I received a call from UCONN stating that the last culture had come in and was diagnosed with Anaplasmosis from a tick bite and given 7 days of doxycycline. I am 73 yrs. old and could have died if not for Dr. Barr. This was all due to Dr. Barr's persistence and dedication to medicine. I will forever remember this incredible man and brilliant doctor. Dr. Barr's dedication and warmth go far beyond the call of duty. UCONN is so lucky to have him as doctor. Eternally grateful to Dr. Barr, Emergency Room Staff & UCONN Farmington.
