I didn't really care, but my mom really cared.

He came by the Surgicare to look at records when he saw the commotion with Jack."The providence that was involved in his showing up at the time that he did and being able to go over to Dr. Hussain and saying I think it is the bag, change the bag, is probably what saved Jack's life," said Dovi . "There's not really words to thank someone who saved your life," said Jack.Even after Jack's condition stabilized, his recovery from the ordeal took time.
