About Me (In My Own Words)
It’s been a week since the medical team at Vancouver General Hospital performed by heart valve repairs and the entire process went so much better than I anticipated. Our imaginations play a big role in outcomes and I’m so fortunate for all the assistance. From the moment they took me in at reception to my release 6 days later, the staff was professional, caring and kind, and made it all manageable. There remains lots to do in recovery but I just want other patients to know, at least from my point of view, leave it to the professionals. They know what they’re doing! Let me add: thank you to the Canadian medical system. We are very, very fortunate to have a system in place that takes care of everyone, anytime.
