I am moved to write about the fact that in five of my hospital stays over the last few years, I was very sick.

Treatment was excellent and as of Tuesday, Aug. 1, my wife Christine was driving me 15 hours home. God bless health care staff and my wife.

Note: By the time you read this column, Christine and I plan to be home from a 5,000 km road trip. It’s a trip that would not even be possible with an electric car. The federal governments in both Canada and the United States have their energy policies entirely wrong, but the warnings spelled out in this 2019 column have gone largely unheeded.
