Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
With all the negative attention the E.Rs receive I would like to share a positive experience. Last Sun (Jan 11) I attended the E.R. at the Ouellette Campus. The waiting room had approx. 8 people there. I was registered and triaged quite quickly and was seen by the Doctor approx. 1/ 2 hour later.
When I first went in the nurse (I believe her name was Alyssa?) was quite nice and friendly. She started a blood sample and other tests that the Doctor would need to treat my problem. When the Doctor came in he had most of the info. he needed already and then ordered an xray. Alyssa came in several times to check on me and to assure that they were doing everything as fast as possible. The service that I received from this Nurse was phenominal and I feel that she deserves a shout out. Alyssa ( I hope that name is correct) Thank you for making my stay at the hospital much better.

Last Wednesday on my way downtown I stopped to get a coffee at Tim Horton's. Once I placed my order in the drive through and pulled ahead in line, to my surprise I found that I had left my wallet at home! Boxed in between cars, the customer ahead of me seemed to be placing a rather longer than usual order which gave me time to search my car for change. I managed to scrape up ninety cents and an old Tim Horton's card, which was in all likelihood, empty. Approaching the cashier window, I prepare to apologize and go on without the coffee, but before I could say a word the cashier says Your coffee was paid for by the driver ahead in thanks for your waiting while she placed her lengthy order! Wow!!, I had been feeling a bit down lately, praying for help and help came in this small act of kindness! Thank you to that lady and thank you Lord!
I would like to spot all the Target Employees at Devonshire Mall. We went to the store yesterday and I know that you all knew about the news that your store is closing. But that didn't stop you all from giving us, customers, excellent customer service...from greeting us hello to helping us find what we needed. You were always there in almost every aisle and always with smiles on your faces. I will miss you all but I know new opportunities will come your way...just believe!
Today I took my son out for lunch for his birthday.He chose Harvey's. We walked into the Harvey's on Dougall and my son told the gentleman that it was his birthday. Dino then told my son that lunch was on him today for his birthday. Thank you so much Dino for making his day :)
After an appointment in Windsor (we are Leamington resident) with my 6 yr old son this morning we decided to head across the city for some lunch at one of his favourite restaurants. We didn't make that lunch. While stopped at a red light at Tecumseh Rd. east and Jefferson I had a medical emergency happen to myself. I am normally a healthy person and this situation happened suddenly I knew I had to get off the road and find someone to help me with my son because I knew something was not right and felt as if I was going to pass out. I managed to pull my van into then closest driveway I could safely get to which was a small plaza. I told my son something was wrong and mommy needed help and told him we needed to go into a store for help. He quickly got himself out of his car seat and helped me into Sofia's bridal where I seen a staff person right away. My son yells out my mommy needs help and I asked them to call 911 as I felt like I was going to pass out. The ladies in the shop quickly came to my aid and helped calm my son. They called 911 and kept talking to me and had me explain what happened which was extremely frightening to myself and my son. As the staff at the store I believe their names were Janet or Janna and Barb and there was possibly another staff I'm sorry if I have your names wrong and then there was a young girl that was a customer in the store that sat with my son and talk to him and offered to stay with my son until a family member could make it to the city from Leamington. My son however did come with me in the ambulance. The paramedics arrived and the staff and this young girl at Sofia's bridal all stayed with me and helped calm my son the entire time and I can't thank them enough and I am sorry that I did not get the name of the young girl. Also the paramedics were also wonderful to both my son and myself. Thank you all so much and you have been spotted for your very compassionate hearts. You all made what could of been a very truamatic experience for a little boy much easier. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. We are now home after having tests done and follow up appointments set so that answer can be found to whatever caused this.
Thank you for arriving quick and helping the two young men and the others in last nights car accident at the corner of Huron and Wyandotte. You were quick and efficient! I pray they are alright.
To the two men and the woman at the corner of Lesperance and Tecumseh at 9am Wednesday morning, you have been spotted! You all got out of your vehicles to help a gentleman in a wheelchair who was stuck in the snow. Even though the intersection was busy, all but one car, stayed put and witnessed your act of kindness! I'm sure this gentleman thanked you when you got him out, but I wanted to thank you as well. It's nice to see such kind people!
