Most of us know some unsung heroes in our midst diligently providing excellent service to the nation without expecting any rewards or praise. Following my own personal experiences, I take this opportunity to acknowledge, highlight and applaud the actions of one such group of people, the Surgical and Anesthetic Team based at the Eric William Medical Science Complex (EWMSC) in Mount Hope where I was recently hospitalised. Having surgery can be a traumatic and scary experience.
However, the Orthopedic team imparted a sense of calm, confidence and true caring that made the entire experience a relatively comfortable one. Special thanks are due to the orthopedic team (Dr Young Pong, Dr Khan, Dr Goolan, Dr Beharry, Dr Gomez) and the anesthetic team (Dr Kernahan and others). The support staff whose names are too many to mention and Nurse Annabelle are all my unsung heroes who get my sincere thanks and appreciation for making a difference.
