Letter written before Dr. Ian Woods enters hospice shared widely by Burke Mountain Medical Centre, prompting patients to express their feelings and 'kudos' to the long-time physician.
A veteran doctor who worked at a Port Coquitlam medical clinic has left hundreds of patients grieving after he passed away just two weeks after retiring.
For the past year, Woods had assisted patients while dealing with pancreatic cancer, which had undergone a "dramatic and sudden reversal" despite chemotherapy, forcing him into hospice. On a Kudoboard, dozens of patients and fellow physicians are writing about their grief, noting Dr. Woods' caring manner and help during challenging times.
There is no immediate successor to Dr. Woods, and patients are encouraged to seek another family doctor.
