Dear editor,
Driving through your beautiful Valley some two weeks ago I found I could not get my foot into a shoe.
When the situation had not improved next day, my daughter insisted on a visit to your hospital emergency ward.
At 86 years of age, domestic peace is the order of the day so off we went on this Saturday morning and it would be remiss of me not to bring this visit to your attention.
I am sure it is not generally known just how fortunate you folk are to have such a genuinely caring and devoted team in attendance.
During my six hours thus detained I observed many acts of kindness and concern for others and myself, not just from the professionals, but equally clerical receptionists and aides. Dr. Charles Huisamen and company, a very sincere thank you for your high standards, colleague motivation and empathy.
Yes, I am aware that there are many very fine and dedicated people in the health-care field, but one rarely finds so many of like-minded and spirit in one location. Bless you.
