Letters to the Editor

Kudos, hospital staff

Editor, the Journal,

For someone who rarely gets sick, I fell in with the local flu that has hit many this year. It required a trip to Mason General Hospital via ambulance, and a night in the emergency room because there were no regular room available at that time. A room became available where I stayed for three days.

The gist of it all, was the manner I was treated:

The ambulance crew were professional, treated me with the utmost care and respect. The ER was short staffed by three staff that night, so some were doing double duty. When I got into a room, the next morning, it was very clean, the nurses were competent and compassionate, if I needed anything, all I had to do was ask. The food was excellent and available when I wanted it. The pot roast was like home-cooked quality!

To the entire staff at Mason General Hospital, from the doctors to the gardeners and every one in between, “thank you for providing the quality level of service that our community can be proud of!”

Julia H. Hansen, Shelton
