Dear Editor:
Since Dec. 24, I have been to [Lions Gate Hospital's] emergency department twice. I’ve had four or five ECGs. I’ve had X-rays and a CT scan. I’ve had my arms poked and given up more little vials of my blood than I can remember. I’ve been to the pre-op room twice, the operating room twice, post-op recovery twice, to 6 East and 6 West [wards], both twice.
I’m now home and hope I’ll stay here. Out of that multitude of caregivers, everyone was kind, caring and professional, in spite of our pandemic of the last two years. I did not see or feel that any of those individuals was harried, tired, overworked or stressed out.
Incredible. What a lot of brave faces.
My heartfelt thanks to all who cared for me, but my heartfelt thanks, also, to every individual who works in and on the whole complex of LGH.
