Richmond Hospital emergency

Dear Editor,

A belated thank you to community angels.

On May 25 last year, I suddenly fell in front of the entrance of Richmond Centre, facing No. 3 Road. 

A lady behind me quickly lifted me up and called 9-1-1 for me. I was quickly sent to the emergency department at Richmond Hospital. Without her quick action, I don’t know what I would be. I wanted to thank her in person. 

I called the police and asked for her name and phone number.

However, since I didn’t have the case number and also due to privacy, the police officer could not find out who that lady. 

It is almost a year to the date and I have recovered mostly, except my right eye still needs some follow-up.

I do hope I can see her again one day in the future and express my thanks to her.  

At the same time, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Shi and his team in the emergency department for giving me the care l needed on that day.  Dr. Shi arranged all the specialists for me. 

I do want to thank him in person, but he is working in the emergency department and it certainly is a very busy place!

I don’t want to go in to disturb him and his team. So, please, accept my heartfelt thanks to all of you!

Eva Wong
