Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
3rd Session
42nd Parliament
A
My
brother,
corey
leonard,
received
the
amazing
gift
of
new
lungs
here
in
bc,
we're
fortunate
to
have
the
expertise
of
thoracic
surgeon
and
lung
transplant
specialist,
dr
john
yee,
and
his
surgical
team,
who
have
an
unblemished
track
record
of
successful
transplants
and
their
tag
teaming
to
a
strong
future.
Thanks
to
their
teaching
program
as
a
patient.
Having
a
positive
attitude's
been
crucial
on
corey's
journey
to
good
health,
it's
shored
up
by
his
unwavering
faith
and
confidence
in
the
expertise
of
the
doctors,
nurses,
respiratory,
therapists
and
all
the
other
members
of
the
team.
A
My
brother
has
had
a
number
of
complications
following
his
initial
surgery
on
day
11
in
the
icu,
he
was
taken
off
the
life-saving
ecmo
machine.
As
the
doctor
prepared
for
the
procedure,
doctors
and
nurses
gathered
around
until
the
whole
floor
was
watching
when
it
was
successfully
removed,
relief
and
elation
filled
the
air.
It
was
a
real
reflection
of
the
deep
commitment
and
connection
each
member
of
the
team
has
to
the
success
of
their
patients.
A
They
certainly
deserve
the
relief
that
the
therapeutic
visiting
bernie's
mountain
dog
brings.
My
brother's
wife,
mariana
bralik,
is
a
good
advocate
for
her
husband.
She
exemplifies
the
benefits
of
calm,
clear
and
timely
communications
as
she
navigates
the
system.
Well
for
those
who
are
hard
of
hearing
as
she
is
know
that
it
can
be
a
real
benefit
because
she
was
able
to
easily
lip
read
when
corey
couldn't
speak
out
loud,
dr
roland
naylor,
corey's
respiratory
specialist
has
been
a
constant
he's,
been
key
to
keeping
my
brother
upbeat
and
feeling
included
in
his
recovery.
