Staff kudos: Spinal surgery patient sings the praises of Lions Gate Hospital
After a recent spinal surgery at Lions Gate Hospital, a patient felt compelled to put pen to paper (not email) and send a letter via Canada Post to praise the staff involved in her care from admitting to recovery. Below is the patient’s letter.
Dear Lions Gate Hospital,
On March 3rd, I was in your hospital for spinal surgery with Dr. Shahid Gul.
The reason for this letter is to thank you for the incredible care I received both before and after surgery.
The nurse who admitted me was so warm and welcoming – she really helped in easing any fears I had.
Dr. Gul and his operating staff were marvellous – so friendly and caring. I couldn’t have been in better hands.
The nurses in Recovery were so attentive. I felt safe and totally cared for during my stay there. I felt totally pampered.
I am recovering nicely and when anyone asks me where I had my surgery, I happily sing the praises of Lions Gate Hospital and the wonderful thanks.
Much thanks,
Patricia (Paddi) Geroux
