    It may seem excessive to provide the highest score on all matters. But as the son of a physician father and an RN mother, I observed these matters up close for many years before becoming a patient during my adulthood. My first experience with Mount Nittany several years ago was highly unsatisfactory because I felt as if I was being hustled out the door. That is not the case today.
