Ruth	1814	Ruth	We would like to say thank you to the paramedics that came in response to our 911 call for my terminally ill spouse who succumbed to kidney cancer March 2 at Lions Gate Hospital. We have such admiration and gratitude for their caring, compassionate and professional manner when treating our loved one. We had more than one call and without fail the response and kindness shown us was appreciated.	09/03/2023 2:04:55 AM
Megan	1813	Megan	On March 1st, my aunt was suffering from a stroke in Vancouver. The paramedics arrived, tended to my aunt and transported her to VGH. When they got to VGH they had a team of nurses and doctors on standby waiting to help my aunt. I don't have the names of the paramedics but just wanted to express my gratitude. Thanks!	02/03/2023 5:38:17 AM
Jason and Sandra	1812	Jason and Sandra	I would like to express my gratitude to Steven and all the paramedics and firefighters that responded to our 911 call in Saanich. Our 12 year old had a seizure and was unresponsive. They came extraordinarily fast and were so professional and kind. I am in awe of them and so very grateful. Before leaving hospital, Steven checked on us and was just amazing.	23/02/2023 2:07:17 AM
Erin	1811	Erin	On Feb 4th, two paramedics, Chi and Greg from Chemainus, were dispatched to my grandmother’s assisted living facility in Duncan. I could not have asked for a more perfect pair in caring for my grandmother. Both were so kind, and Greg started an IV so fast she barely noticed. I have since run in to Chi, who weeks later remembered my grandmother and asked how she was doing. So, thank you so much.	20/02/2023 1:14:16 AM
Nancy and Terry	1810	Nancy and Terry	We would like to thank the following Nanaimo paramedics for their wonderful care and compassion: Brodie, Arvon and Dan (working NRGH Feb 17 evening). Their calm and caring approach made two difficult medical situations more bearable. Thank you for being so kind and wonderful at your jobs!	18/02/2023 3:57:58 AM
Cris	1809	Cris	I want to thank Chris and his team who arrived to our home in Coquitlam on the night of Feb 3. They supported me over the phone to do the CPR and came in to follow up with the CPR and resuscitation with the AED machine. I know my husband would not be here if it were not for the team. We can't seem to find you at Columbia Hospital anymore.	08/02/2023 6:34:56 PM
Krishan	1808	Krishan	Yesterday I fell down in the washroom at 3am and my family called the ambulance. I was in very bad shape and all the family members were worried about me. When the ambulance came, they were quick to assess my situation and gave me medical aid which stabilized my health, and transported to SMH Emergency. They provided me with top-class services. My kudos to Sarah S, Joleen K and Lavren for everything.	07/02/2023 7:36:58 PM
Nancy	1807	Nancy	I want to thank Derek and his partner. Both of them were so kind and understanding when I was having 2 days of misery. They were so kind and helpful, so I want to say, "thank you for being so kind and understanding." I hope this gets to them. And well done on the IV insertions!	07/02/2023 11:22:20 AM
Anne, Marge, Dan	1806	Anne, Marge, Dan	I want to thank the Smithers Ambulance and Emergency Response Team for phenomenal service, care and compassion on the morning of Dec. 15th! I tripped and fell down my parents’ stairs and couldn't get up. The paramedic really helped keep me calm and stable with his kind, gentle voice. We want to thank everyone who attended this accident at our home for your beautiful care and compassion!	06/02/2023 9:12:40 PM
