Once again a patient has expressed his concern on how our health care system did not work. That is his reality as he sees it.
My reality has been, twice in the last three years, that I have been very grateful for our system. I was well cared for by the ambulance crews.
The first time the hospital was so full, I spent several days on a gurney in the casting room. I was so well looked after I did not mind the surroundings.
The second time I did have a room.
I cannot thank my family doctor, Dr. Long, my surgeon, Dr. Hamish Hwang, and the specialists and nurses who were with me during the night and days, enough. I give a heartfelt thank you to all of the people who run the hospital.
I fully believe our system saved my life.
I would like to say that Len Eddy’s letter is not written on my behalf.
I am a user of our health care system and I cannot be more grateful for it.
