    I just learned that Michelle Grana DO in HSV AL died May 13, 2012… Michelle saved me in 2010 and i have been trying to find her for professional reasons and because we were becoming friends then dropped off edge of the earth… i want to tell her family how important she was to my recovery from AMA mismanagement of my health. Michelle was a life saver. Such a travesty.
