    mongo = Connection(None, None, 'jeff-database')
    mongo.collection.hijeff.insert({'yay': 'yay'})
'''
try:
    Connection(None, None, 'flask-database')
    user = User.find_user(page=1, per_page=15)
    resp = jsonify({'User': user, 'message': 'Successfully inserted!'})

    resp = jsonify({'arg': e.args[0], 'message': 'Unexpected error occured!'})
    resp.status_code = 500
return make_response(resp)

NATIVE QUERY:

    if user_collection is None:
        resp = jsonify({'message': 'User not ' + email + ' found'})
        resp.status_code = 500
    else:
        json_docs = [json.dumps(doc, default=json_util.default) for doc in [user_collection]]
        resp = jsonify(data=json_docs)
        resp.status_code = 200
    return resp
