Richard Crouse, a film critic for CTV's Canada AM, was referred to Surgical Oncologist Dr. Peter Stotland when a tumour was discovered during a routine colonoscopy. Laparoscopic surgery, which has significant advantages over traditional surgery techniques, was performed.
"The care I received from Dr. Stotland and the rest of the team at North York General Hospital was excellent. I knew I was in good hands and surgery was the first step in getting back to normal," says Richard.

Preparing to bring home a baby is one of the most exciting times for new parents. What rarely crosses their minds is the inconceivable thought they may never come home with their baby.
"Our job is to offer as much comfort and care as possible during this horrible time," says Patricia Wlodek, Clinical Nurse Educator in the Maternal Newborn Program and perinatal bereavement team lead. "Parents are in shock, grief stricken and overwhelmed and we are here to support them as much as possible and get them ready to go home."
