The following letter was sent to Health Minister Adrian Dix and copied to Delta Optimist for publication
Dear Mr. Dix
Could you please ask Cathy Wiebe and the other administrators at Delta Hospital (I cannot contact them directly) to thank the doctors, nurses and other support staff at the ER who helped me heal from a very bad bout of pneumonia.
Over the six days I was at Delta Hospital, I could see the demand on the nurses and others as they worked tirelessly to deal with all that came in, from simple wounds to cardiac arrests. I also saw times when they were working short staffed, which added to the burden of care on the staff in the ER.
Please encourage Cathy Wiebe and other administrators at Delta to do all they can to show appreciation, encourage and support the nurses and other staff who serve their patients.
John Greenfield
