Hospital care during COVID battle was exceptional

By Letter to the Editor on May 26, 2021.

Editor;
For almost two months in February and March 2021, I had the pleasure of spending time at the Lethbridge Regional Hospital, where I was being treated for COVID-19. In that time, I was lucky enough to receive exceptional medical care from the multitude of nurses, support staff and doctors who work there.
 One particular group of helping professionals who made a special contribution to my battle with COVID-19 were a number of ICU nurses.
They took diligent and professional care in making sure I would be successful in battling this mysterious virus. Without their help, I would no doubt not have survived. I am very grateful to Jennifer Neufeld, Don Erickson and Tatiana Westra who saved my life. There is no doubt in my mind that these nurses are some of the finest in Lethbridge.
 Thanks to the care I received from these people, I now have an opportunity to continue living my life.
 I would also like to express my gratitude for all the other nurses who played an important part in my healing journey. They treated me with care and concern, always asking me if I was OK and if I needed anything. There were other times when I would lose my balance and fall on my head (ouch). The nurses would come to my rescue and clean up the mess I had made.
During my hospital stay, I was humbled on many occasions by my behaviour. The nursing staff were so accepting and understanding. I am grateful to them.
 Please share this letter with members of your staff. Lethbridge is lucky to have such exceptional hospital care.
