A little time and care goes a long way
I arrived at the RGH, went
through Admissions, and was
greeted by a triage nurse with
a great sense of humour, who
wrote down my ailment and
assured me he’d get me in to see
a doctor.
After sitting down in the waiting
room for ten to 15 minutes, a
fabulous doctor named Iwilah
called me in and started treating
me right away. She told me she
was heading out the door to go
home for the night, but saw my
file and decided to save me six
hours of waiting.
Cafeteria prices increase
On August 15, there will be an increase to cafeteria pricing. This
increase is in response to rising input costs that have occurred
over the past two years. Overall, prices will rise an average of
4.5 per cent, but will vary by item with some prices increasing
more than others. The following table outlines the new pricing
for some of the most common cafeteria selections:

We appreciate your ongoing patronage and will always strive

reasonable price.
I would ask that you please
recognize these two fantastic
individuals and give them my
sincerest thanks.
This is what health care
delivery can be like for others
in Saskatchewan; a modicum
of time and care, which goes a
long way in helping patients get
treated and back to their lives.
Thank you.

I would like to send my thanks
to the Regina General Hospital
(RGH) Emergency team. Long
story short: I went jogging and
got a mosquito in my eye I just
couldn’t get out. Unfortunately,
this happened just before the
Meadow Primary Health Care
Centre closed for the night,
so I headed to the Emergency
Department (following
HealthLine’s direction).
