Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor, ver the past months, maybe over a year, we have heard so much negativity regarding our RHA. I have to admit the situation regarding the clinic did raise my ire. Change is not always received in a positive way; however, what is done is done, just get over it! I unfortunately spent the last five days in hospital. I was overwhelmed by the treatment I received! Starting with, Dr. Madhi, who was the clinic on-call doctor, who went out of his way to get my problem seen to. At that time he

wasnt even my family doctor. His caring and compassion, I havent seen in years! The nurses on fifth floor are an honour to their profession. They were so cheerful and caring, explaining the meds that were ordered, trying to help with suggestions for pain relief and were so interested in how comfortable you were and if there w a s a n yt h i n g t h e y could do, etc. X - ra y a n d u lt ra sound staff were the same, cheerful and caring. Even the ambulance drivers on the way to The Pas for scans driving over that highway under construction in pain is

no picnic, but they did all they could to make the trip as comfortable as possible. The dietary staff served fresh, tasty meals that were good. The hospital is bright, very clean and there aren t hallways clutteredwith machines, laundry carts, etc., that you see in the city. Through the years I h a ve un fo rtu nate l y been in three different hospitals in Winnipeg and if I am unfortunate to have to be admitted again and had a choice; I would choose the Flin Flon General Hospital, hands down! Sincerely, Gail Baker Flin Flon
