A week ago, I had a hip replacement at Burnaby Hospital.
Hospitals are very different today than they were 13 years ago when my other hip was replaced. I can offer only the highest praise and commendation to the entire surgical, professional, and ward staff who supported my operation.
There were complications related to blood pressure so I was in BH for five days. I am thankful to the many specialists involved in my care and appreciate how well they worked together as a team, each coming to address me personally to explain my plan and progress.
Also, I offer similar thanks and tributes to the food services and janitorial staff who are overworked and still did their jobs as well as they could, always with a smile.
In short, we are so blessed to have our excellent health care system. New hip hip hooray.
