Letter from patient

You have been a light at the end of my tunnel and I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO EXPRESS the gratitude I feel towards you or what you have done for me.

From June until I met you, I was in pain every single day of my life; was depressed and hurting always. Working was a challenge, day to day life impossible!!

You have made such a difference in my life. I will never, EVER be so grateful to anyone!!

You were a Godsend and I can only thank my intuition and my gut for leading me to you because if I had gone with who SOS had referred me to, I do not think or feel I would be where I am today. In my entire life I have never hurt or suffered the way I did BEFORE I met you. That time in my life was the darkest but you made it bright again. I do not know how I will ever be able to thank you.

Really want you to know how much I appreciate you, your humor, the care and attention you are able to dole out to all of us. I could cry right now from the relief I have felt post op.!!!!!

Every single day I am counting my blessings and the good fortune I had in meeting you.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you and wish for you everything good.

Thanks again, doc!

Much love,

VL

Oh Baby , What a Help

I DELIVERED my baby on Aug 18 at Gleneagles Hospital. The labour was tougher than expected but I was comforted by a profound experience of care which went beyond my expectation.

During labour, the intense effort to push out the baby left me totally emptied of energy. The possibility of a Caesarean operation was hovering in the air, but the resolve of the medical team - comprising Dr Christopher Chong, senior nurse manager Theresa and midwife Melita - to not settle for second best was obvious.

Their "being there" for me to cheer me on was better than any assisted delivery device. Indeed no technology can replace the human touch. I have truly experienced health care at its best.
