Critical care workers create unforgettable night for KHSC patient

A Kingston Health Sciences Centre patient experienced an unforgettable night recently after spending nearly three years in critical care. Susan, whose last name was not provided for confidentiality reasons, had a special encounter with her favorite music artist, Bryan Adams, at a recent concert. Her patient care assistant, Cheri Atkinson, worked tirelessly to make this experience possible by coordinating with Bergeron Clifford injury lawyers to secure tickets for Susan to attend the show.

Registered nurse Sierra Dobbie explained that taking care of the whole person, including their likes and preferences, is integral to their approach when providing care. With months of physiotherapy and preparation, Susan was able to enjoy the night to the fullest. The highlight of the evening came when Susan was granted the rare opportunity to meet Bryan Adams in person, leaving her stunned and incredibly happy. This memory, filled with joy and surprise, will be cherished by Susan and her care team forever.
