Today we're sharing a later from a grateful patient, praising Cowichan District Hospital staff for their exceptional care and compassion during an unexpected New Year’s Eve emergency.
Unfortunately, my [health] decided to cause me issues on the days leading up to New Years and I found myself in Emergency on New Years Eve.
All the staff were wonderful and treated me with respect, care and attention. From triage, the nursing staff in Emergency, porters, ultrasound technician, Dr. Kroeker in Emergency, to Dr. Saetler and his team and anesthesiologist, who performed the surgery, and finally the recovery room nurses made me feel comfortable and cared for.
Especially for a New Years Eve ... probably an increased workload with many staff taking vacation day. I would really like to again thank the staff there.
Please thank the medical staff for their caring manner and quick response.

Applause for the CDH staff for providing outstanding care, even amidst the challenges of the busy holiday season.
