Editor,
Bedridden and on medical oxygen, I am one of hundreds of formerly active patrons of Sutter Health’s San Mateo Mickelson Therapy Pool who have been suffering physically and emotionally since its closure in March of 2020.
Twenty-two months bedridden, but hope remains

Michael:
As a user of the Mickelson therapy pool, I have seen so many patrons of the pool and was there long enough to actually SEE the progress and the freedom from pain and LIFTING OF DISABILITIES that the pool brought to so many. I still have a difficult time understanding how Sutter can do this - have any of them come to the pol in person for just ten minutes?
Interviewed Physical Therapists?
Really, seen anyone with personal knowledge of this
Miraculous pool?
That would be a good start.
