Dr. Elizabeth Rutherford was the first OB/GYN I was fortunate enough to meet approx. half a dozen years ago when I was rushed to the ER of a hospital here in York, PA. This was due to another surgeon's error a week earlier, and I was literally bleeding to death by the time Dr. Rutherford was called down to the ER to perform another surgery on me. Although in shock, the one voice I remember that fateful night is hers. Calm, soothing, but politely commanding enough that the panicking nurses immediately relaxed and regrouped, so to say. Her presence made all the difference...something for anyone to consider! I also had the benefit of her medical attention during my week stay in the hospital, post-surgery, and follow-up visits to her York office. Aside from her evident intelligence and expertise in her speciality, I loved her character from the start: warm, sincere, modest, most personable, and dedicated. I think her most unique attribute was that she was careful to look at the bigger picture. I do have other medical issues as a spine trauma victim, and appreciated her taking my whole person into account. New in the York area at the time, Dr. Rutherford tried very hard to make referrals available for me to see other specialists whom I needed. A very trustworthy woman. Unfortunately for me, and very lucky for those in Indiana, she then relocated. I sure do miss her. Here's to you, Dr. Rutherford!
