Thank A Care Team Form

Opal	2036	Opal	I wanted to send a sincere thank you to the amazing paramedics who responded to my mother's cardiac concern over the holidays. She lives in Shawnigan Lake and received supreme care and attention from the local volunteer fire fighters, basic life support paramedics and then the advanced life support crew. Her transfer and attendance to the emergency department were prompt, and with incredibly high-quality care and handoff. So thankful!	09/01/2025 9:09:21 PM
Carla	2035	Carla	One thousand ‘thank-yous’ to the dispatchers, first responders, and EMTs who helped my Dad as he suffered a heart attack in the early hours of December 29 at his home in Aldergrove. Your quick assessment and actions saved his life.	08/01/2025 10:29:30 PM
Nicholas	2034	Nicholas	Luis and Soroush were patient with my dad. He had been reluctant to go to the emergency room and they sat down with him and took a lot of time and effort talking him into going to the ER to get checked up. Soroush in particular explained that he understood my dad's reluctance, but he was in serious need of medical help. He helped him get dressed and gathered his belongings.	06/01/2025 8:33:10 AM
Howard	2033	Howard	I was cared for by Mackenzie early in the morning of December 23 in Sidney. I was greatly impressed with the quiet competence of the paramedic who assisted emergency personnel. She was a huge help getting me to the emergency department.	29/12/2024 7:33:47 PM
Brett	2032	Brett	In June 2024 I was helping a friend repair his roof and suffered a fall. Knocked unconscious by the fall, I was rushed to Nanaimo General Hospital by ground ambulance. I was later flown to Victoria General Hospital for emergency surgery to correct a brain bleed. Thanks to lifesaving care being provided quickly, I'm happy to report I've made a full recovery. Thank you BCEHS!	29/12/2024 2:27:24 AM
Carly	2031	Carly	I was cared for by Peter and wanted to let him know how much I appreciated him. On December 10, I had a seizure while in an elevator and broke my C1 vertebrae. Peter was one of the paramedics and he contacted my husband on my behalf. He was very kind, took the time to listen, and checked in on me after his shift. I wasn't completely 'with it' but want him to know that I'll be fine and say THANK YOU!	23/12/2024 11:46:03 PM
Jenny	2029	Jenny	Thank you for being there to help my mom and dad! Thank you, Brothers and Sisters.	18/12/2024 5:16:34 PM
Mary	2028	Mary	Both my husband and I would like to thank the call takers and paramedic team for their prompt action on Dec. 14, 2024. I was picked up for VGH and both Marc and Luis showed their kind, caring and compassionate attitudes. In their second round to VGH, Marc even brought along Kleenex for me which I needed. Well done, Marc and Luis!	15/12/2024 1:28:14 AM
Nicole	2027	Nicole	A huge thank you to Country and Anne Marie for taking care of my son as well as all the other children on the bus that crashed in Lac La Hache in June 2024. They were extremely kind and professional. The care and compassion they provided was instrumental in keeping my son and me calm during such a scary situation. I cannot thank them enough.	09/12/2024 3:23:22 PM
