“I am grateful for the amazing care my father received while he was a cardiac patient and went into this career believing it would be a fulfilling path. Being able to provide that same care to my patients today is an honour.
It’s the greatest feeling when a patient comes back and they let us know, if it wasn’t for you taking me to emergency that day, I wouldn’t have got my stents and I wouldn’t be here.
To know that because of my profession, because I’m trained to read the tracings on these reports, that someone’s mother, father, brother, sister is still around, is very rewarding.”
– Nadia, Cardiology Technologist
