On Monday I spent 5 hours waiting to have my son checked at Sheldon Shumir (long wait but nobody's fault). I just want to say that in my time in the waiting room as well as with the physician, I was once again amazed by what a compassionate, generous, hardworking and kind group of people work in our Alberta health care system. These folks were handling every possible kind of situation and personality some very difficult with dignity and care. I honestly looked around and couldn't imagine spending every day in that setting without becoming completely emotionally exhausted and burnt out. And yet, every person who helped us did so with energy, joy and care. Thank you so much
