I would like to share my wonderful experience at your medical clinic [Whistler Health Care Centre] in the past few days.
I was riding my bike and was stung by a hornet. [I] made my way back to Riverview RV where we were staying and told my wife. Within minutes my face and hands went red and my lips went numb.
My wife said I should get on her electric bike and ride to the clinic. We had no car as we were in [a motorhome]. I rode back to the clinic and once inside the door it was not going well.
Within five minutes I was in a bed and two doctors and a nurse were helping me. I was there for three hours and the medical attention was beyond anything I had experienced. They were all so kind, caring and professional.
The doctor and nurse were so attentive and caring over the three hours. The doctor would not let me go until he had given me a thorough check-over, which even included him calling St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver for an opinion on an issue.
I can’t say enough about the quality of care I received. All of Whistler should be very proud and lucky to have this quality of medical service available in their community.
Oh, and did I mention I am 72?
Thank you.
