 Did Reg Nighswander sell the winning RBC lottery tickets?I guess we'll never know for sure, but there's a good chance he might have.

Patient grateful for complicated cancer surgery
Dear Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital,
I wish to convey my gratitude and share my experience during the course of my medical journey.
I was diagnosed with cancer in the common bile duct/gallbladder area, and was under the care of Dr. Igor S. Goussev, who later performed a complicated major surgery to remove my cancer. I am writing this letter to praise my surgeons -- Dr. Goussev, Dr. Konn and Dr. Donahue -- and all the wonderful nurses who provided me the best care and comfort during my stay at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering. |
