CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE TERRACE STANDARD The Mail Bag Orthopedics — just do it Dear Sir: AS a person who lives in Terrace and who has re- quired the service of an orthopedic surgeon for more than a year, the emotional highs and lows of the circus that has developed over this issue ‘is + totally dishearten- ing. 1, Why does the paper refer to the health council as “The Terrace and Area Community Health Council” and not the regional health council? ’ Doesnt one imply the other? Is this supposed to be the politicatly correct term? What’ sina name aud who really cares anyway? ~~ 2s Isn't the-health council's job -to find efficient and cost effective ways lo service the population of the area? fit is, the fact there isn’t an orthopedic surgeon anywhere in the northwest proves how overpaid and impotent they are. 3. Mr. Heimut Giesbrecht, -you much maney do the unions jn Kitimat contribute to the NDP in an election year? And isn’t this the real reason why you have de- cided to sit on the fence once again? 4, To Terrace and Kitimat doctors, isn’t the most im- portant issue that we acquire all orthapedic surgeon regardiess of where he is sitna ted? 5. To Kitimat residents, when you have complica- lions afler surgery, aren’t you thankful when you: can find-the care you need 30 miles from home and not in Prince George or Vancouver? & To doctors and residents of Kitimat, doesn’t it ‘make sense that if your community can not attract a surgeon aud keep him there that in the end you're going to have to take what you can gel? If a more qualified or experienced surgeon prefers Terrace, isn’t this better for the patient and the region as a whole? 7, Isn’t it the actual truth that even if we acquired an orthopedic surgeon tomorrow, the waiting list to see him will be so long, he may once again be gone before patients can get any results? Couldn’t this alone justify having ouein both Terrace and in Kilimal just to get rid of the waiting list? Chances are one or both may choose not to stay in ei- ther community for whatever reason and maybe we can avoid this whole issue again two years down the road. Every professional involved with this issue should hang their collective heads in shame. It has become painfully obvious that with all of the rhetoric and mudslinging, that this issue has nothing to do with patient care, cast effectiveness or even plain and simply logic and everything to do with politics, We in the northwest are forever being serewed by Victoria. This is one issue we really can’t afford to let get tied up in political correctuess, Please leave your egos and your political agendas at the door. The people of the northwest need and deserve the best orthopedic surgeon available. Whatever com- promises have to be to achieve this, just do it, Lorraine Fortner, Terrace, B.C. Closer to home? Dear Sir: In MLA Giesbrecht’s numerous diatribes on the” “ orthopedic surgeon quandary to place a new physiciait ~ in either Kitimat’s or Terrace’s hospital, he states that longtime GP Dr. Jim MacKenzie of Kitimat is fear mongering and should cool his jets. If Kitimat General Hospital loses its resident orthopedics, there’s a downward cascade effect on anesthesiology, obstetrics and support staff. It com- promises the integrity of Kitimat’s hospital to serve their community, Was ‘Closer to Home’ just another token concept that failed? Or are we again expected to lake the govern- ment’s word on something. Gerry J. Bloomer, Lakelse Lake, B.C. .(recetved via email) Bad road conditions Dear Sir: I’m writing to voice our concerns over the highway conditions of northern B.C. On Jan. 29 were going cast on Hwy 16, 36 hours afler the last snowfall. The first 48 kilometers were good, giving us a bright outlook for the following drive. After the 48 kilometers the road had a build up of hard pack of 3-4 inches, The road was rutted and slippery, with hardly any evidence of salt, sand or gravel. The weather conditions were no different on this sec- tion of the road than the first 48 kilometers. After 30 more kilometers, we were forced to tum back. On our return we looked into why and found out that this section of highway is maintained by Lakes District Maintenance, who maistained that goverment standards are being met, I ask you what does a load of sand/salt or gravel cost? How do the costs in hospital/medicare, ICBC claims/lives and family and safely compare? I believe safety on the road should not be profit orientated. J.C. Smith, Terrace, B.C. Let them recycle : An open letter to: . : Regional District Director Gordon Robinso; __ ......., Dear Sir: I was al the Thornhil! dump the other day doing my bi-weekly drop off and pick up. While checking over the pile, as I have done for 20 odd years, I spot the lop off'a roll top desk which | contemplate taking home. I also notice a couple of bottles that haveu’t been picked up, but I figure the regulars haven’ come yet. | decide against the roll top as it's just another project | don’t need right now. As I drive out I notice a man ina blue uniform driv- ing down, He was going to fine me because I was going to recycle something. Well it made me mad and ] went back to talk to him. He said the by-law was done for public safety, and to slop any law suits. I think this a plle of bull, Te you waitt to protect the public, stop the -poltution that is going on daily into Thornhill Creek. You must _ Have another agenda,’or you just iced a reality check. Quit wasting-our public tax dollars fining people who may need the aluminum, copper, bottles or what have you to help them get through. their month. Have you ever needed to collect bottles for money? In some ways it would be good for you to be in that position and then stupid laws- would not be passed - while others; stich: as polluting the creek could | be looked at with a Wiser mind, Michelle Rodger, Terrace, BC.
