Dear John, Having just spent a month (minus 2 days) in Bowmanville Hospital, I felt there were a few thoughts I would like to share with others. This was the first time in 30 years since I had been hospitalized, so it was a new experience as well as very unexpected. I have only the highest regard for the staff of Memorial Hospital in S.C.Unit and on the Medical Floor Departments as that is where I was. The nurses with whom I came in contact were most patient, kind and considerate with a great deal of T.L.C. The same goes for the doctors. The cleaning staff also were most considerate of the patients. Meals were appetizing, attractive and served on time with regard to illness and diet, One suggestion I would make to the Hospital Board is that in the S.C.U. there is no visiting between 1:00 and 2:00 p.m. That could be a good rule to be enforced throughout the whole hospital. Visiting from 11:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. can be continuous even through meal times and if one Is In a semi-private room or ward they may not have visitors but the other person in the room could have some who arc noisy and no one gets any rest. 1 know how much I appreciated my rest in the S.C.U. and missed it in the other room. Maybe others will have other thoughts. I believe we have an Al hospital now in Bowmanville and with the renovations and enlargements to come, I hope the personal touch is not lost. Grany G.
