Many acts of kindness, compassion and professional delivery take place and become part of the environment without mention. It is the manner within which we live in today’s busy lives, that we have created for ourselves.
My partner, Marilyn Verigin, was challenged with a health emergency on February 26, 2015 while we were passing through Saskatoon, Saskatchewan after paying our respects for our Best Man, Keith Tarasoff, in Canora, Saskatchewan.
Although we were both born, raised and educated in Saskatoon, we were not sure which hospital emergency we should go. Our family advised the RUH.
I was able to drive Marilyn to the RUH and I noted that her condition was fast deteriorating. Upon arrival, the Admitting Staff took over and soon she was admitted to the Emergency Room. From that point on, I was amazed and very thankful that we were part of a well rehearsed system that included Doctors, Nurses and other Staff that immediately recognized a serious condition was taking place that required expert attention.
The details if all that ensued are very important but not necessary to note here except that the results were positive and a diagnosis developed after almost every technological testing became immediately available to Marilyn.
Marilyn’s stay till March 02, 2015 was filled with continuing excellent care and professional attention.
We cannot begin to list all those responsible with our sincere gratitude but we were able to accumulate a partial list as follows:
• Dr. Wendi Fitzpatrick
• Dr. Syed Rizvi
• Other professionals (a long list that I was not able to obtain)
o Especially those in Emergency along with Dr. Fitzpatrick
• Staff on at 6300 which include in part:
o Shauna
o Leonora
o Jenny
o Others (who I was not able to get names for}
In quoting from a publication entitled “The Biology of Belief” by Dr. Bruce H. Lipton PhD, a Cell Biologist I make the following quotations:
“…….seers like Rumi knew……..for human babies and adults the best growth promoter is love.
A lifetime without Love is of no account
Love is the Water of Life
Drink it down with heart and soul………….”
“……..Use the intelligence of cells to propel humanity one more rung up the evolutionary ladder where the most loving do more than survive, they thrive….”
There is no question in the minds of Marilyn and her family that the love, kindness and compassion shown her in her stay at RUH, contributed to her recovery and release on March 02, 2015.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations on a successful hospital admittance. Having recently undergone a surgery at the Kelowna General, I too, am extremely grateful for the dedication, compassion, and professional attention that our health care workers posses.
Saskatchewan has moved miles from the Homestead days of our grandparents. Although I do not agree with all of the so-called technical advances such as GMO’s and zero-tillage, there are reasons for celebrations in fields such as medicine and education, of which we can both attest to as being the products of these establishments.
You mention the work of Bruce Lipton. I read “The Biology of Belief” perhaps 6 months ago and it was a quantum leap for me in bridging science and reality into a broader spectrum of reality.
Wishes for Good Health for the both of you

Not bad statements from a farm kid who “reads rocks” as an Applied Scientist.
We are truly blessed

Dear Elmer & Marilyn
Even tho we do not communicate very often, we think of you often. We are very happy to learn that all turned out well for you in Saskatoon. My computer crashed and we had to get a new one, so have been off line for some time.
Wishing you both “The Best”
Love
