If David Letterman put together a Top 10 list of hospitals, Rhode Island Hospital would probably be number one.

The long-time host of The Late Show With David Letterman, who stepped down in 2015, thanked the staff of the hospital’s emergency department in a video in which he disclosed that he was visiting Providence with his son last August when he fell on the pavement, struck his head, and fell unconscious.
