I came in because I had a bad cut and bruise on my forearm that I was afraid would become infected. Dr Takeuchi noticed that I had a temperature and took the time to figure out that I had Covid even though I had no symptoms. If I didn’t have that knowledge when I woke up in the middle of the night shivering and sore, I would have panicked and thought it was a bad infection from my arm and probably run to the emergency room. Dr Takeuchi’s thouroghness saved me that stress!
