Dear Colleen,
I’d like to take you back a few years. I helped out DJ covering her vacations in the early 80’s until she retired, and Kendra came. It was then when Kendra called me to fill in for her vacation; I mentioned that I wasn’t feeling well. Dr. Nevins had me come in and then sent me to the lab. Within an hour he had me in surgery. He had a difficult time trying to get an anesthesiologist. It was back in the days when OR would close (after a certain time) and they would go home. They wanted him to wait until the next day, however, he insisted. My appendix had ruptured, and it would have been much worse for me had he waited. I just stayed in the hospital a few days longer. I am very grateful even to this day. As a twist in this, I was a volunteer on the Fire Dept. in Cathedral City. Fresh out of hospital, I when down to the station just to say Hi when my captain got a medical aid call. He was alone so I went along. The EMT’s needed someone else to do CPR on this lady going to the emergency room, so I did. The funny thing is I was worried about Dr. Nevins catching me in the ER (out of my bed). The lady did survive, so you could say Dr. Nevins saved us both. I will miss saying Hi to him in the mornings.
Sincerely,
~ Gail Miller ~

My deepest condolences to the family of this wonderful doctor and human being. I thank Dr. Nevins in my prayers daily. 23 years ago he operated on my mother who had breast cancer. Today she is a healthy, happy cancer survivor; I thank Dr. Nevins for this. He also was so very kind in helping her with the cost of the surgery since she had no insurance at the time. The medical world has lost a wonderful doctor; humanity has lost a wonderful human being.
