Aw – this is really nice to hear Lynne and nice to see people who are appreciative of the amazing world-class care we receive right here in BC.

I was so surprised that so much happens just minutes from my office.
Also, I was hospitalized about 15 months ago at another lower mainland hospital. I was always very much aware that the ER team had worked very hard to save my life and was quite appreciative of that, but when I watched this series it really came home in a big way as to how much love, compassion and hard work they put into their jobs and the patients each and every shift.
Thank you to all the ER teams and to Tiffany and Gavin for showing the public what really goes on in the ERs.
