Treatment at Chinook Regional Hospital was professional

After spending nine days in CRH I feel I should report my very good experience.

I went into Emergency early in the morning. By luck there were only a few people. I was registered and waited a short 10 minutes to be called in for triage.

Testers, vitals were taken, blood draws made and an interview done where it was explained to me what was being done and why. All. this in a very proficient and friendly manner. About 2 p.m. I was told I was going to be admitted when a bed could be found.

When I arrived at 4B about 6 p.m. very friendly and accommodating staff got me settled in.

My stay was made as pleasant and comfortable as possible by a professional – always smiling and accommodating group of people who at times were under pressure with being short-handed.

Many blood tests, scans, X-rays et cetera were done through the course of my stay. I as always kept up to date on why and how. I might say as well the food was pretty good.

We should be thankful for these professional people, always pleasant and caring in spite of AHS.

I wonder what AHS will look like after MLA LaGrange, the new Health Minister, gets finished with it – especially after two plus years of messing with education.
