LGH Emergency team thanked for being “unfailingly gracious, helpful and polite”

One often hears horror stories of conditions and treatment in our hospitals. This letter contains good news.

On Friday, March 20, it was necessary for me to go to the Emergency Department at Lions Gate Hospital. I found everyone from the reception nurse, admitting nurse, the technicians who performed various tests, to the medical student trainee and the consulting doctor to be unfailingly gracious, helpful and polite.

There was a very positive feeling all around and I was most impressed . I was released after about 4-1/2 hours in the Emergency Department and I would like to thank everybody for the great care an attention.

Last year, I had to attend an Emergency Department in Florida. Yes, the service was good but the hospital bill was $14,200. Sometimes we do not realize how fortunate we are.

Sincerely,

BC
