Jun 17, 2019
I was in an accident and got a tramatic brain injury. I was taken to mercy hospital where Dr Rust saved my life! My family says he told them that I flatlined 2 or 3 times in surgery and he revived me. My family says he was always honest when he spoke to them about my condition.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?
