Time To Say Goodbye…
Today is my last day working at the Brampton Civic Hospital, at William Osler Health Centre. I am leaving for many reasons, though one of the biggest is that I will be working closer to home.
Yesterday, I uploaded a video to share my 2nd last day at the hospital with you. As this is a big life change, I wanted to share it with you.
On this video - you’ll see my (snowy) drive up to the hospital, and then a brief visit in my office.
Enjoy!
Dr. Kenny
p.s. I recorded this with my Flip video - so it’s not the best quality, but it’s pretty good

Dear Dr Kenny:
It has been a pleasure and an honour to work with you. You have displayed great knowledge, compassion, and devotion: to the patients/families/staff/ that you have encountered, which I have observd while you are on call/visited at BCH.
You will truly be missed on our unit.
Best wishes go to you as you start the new chapters of your life.
I will follow you here on your blog.
Sincerely, Maria.

Dr. Handelman,
Having been a previous patient of yours (at the old Brampton hospital!) it is hard to believe that so much time has passed! I wish you the very best as you make this change in your life, and want to thank you for everything you do…I know that wherever you move to you will continue to be a positive influence in the lives of so many young people, guiding them in an expert yet ever friendly way through difficult times they may be having.
I really appreciate your message at the end of your video, thank you for believing in me and helping me to overcome so much! I am proudly in the final semester of an Honours Kinesiology degree at McMaster University, with applications in for a Masters in Physiotherapy next year…thank you for the important part you played in developing my ability to succeed!!
All the best,
Becky Stehouwer

Dear Dr Kenny,
I´m writing you from Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina. First, let me tell you that all your info is very valuable for me, because I use it in my classes at the Faculty of Medical Sciences, where I teach Medical English to both students and professionals since 1999. And second, well, I think many things in life are more or less the same everywhere in the world… no matter if you are in the States, in Argentina, in India or somewhere in Africa… sometimes is the right time to say goodbye, but it is also the right time to start a new stage in life and you must take the challenge. So, all my best wishes in this your new start in your life, take the challenge and go ahead.
Hugs,
Elda.

All the Best in the new adventures.!
Thanks for taking us to your office…. (I’m in Texas and my ADHD son have both been reading your e-mail /Blog for the last two years. He has kept up w/ you while he lived in Washington State, Iraq and now North Carolina.
Thanks for adding to our understanding.
I’ve recently re-married and my husband, an anesthetist, is also ADD.
Yes! Terrific men ~ both of them!

Hi, Dr. Kenny,
What an inspiration this video clip is to other practitioners who have to transition out of people’s lives. While we may not have the technology skills you do, I’ll bet we could find someone who does who could help us make transitions easier . You have done this eloquently through both pictures and words of final farewell. Thanks! Dr. Nancy

Dear Dr. Kenny,
Congratulations and best wishes in your new job! I been at my job for 20 years and ready to make a new transition in my life. I am looking at teaching possibilities and starting a blog of my own. Thank you for giving me courage.

Dear Dr. Kenny,
Best wishes on your new adventure. I will be praying for you. I know that no matter where you go, you will definitely make a difference. I look forward to your updates on the new job. God bless.

Dear Dr. Kenny,
Thanks for that window into life in Canada. With snowy roads like what is shown in your video, I can fully understand why you would want to shorten your commute! (I am writing this from the southern part of New York State, where only rain is reaching us right now.)
I hope this video starts a trend in professional leave-taking. When my favorite radio station, CD101.9, which played smooth jazz, turned to completely different music without any warning, I was shocked. So it’s a good idea for you to give your patients this heads-up!
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Hey Dr. Kenny,
Again, I am soooo glad your joining the Oakville team as my son and I meet with you at the end of this month. I was raised in Brampton and moved to Oakville about 12yrs ago. Our family doctor, and other specialists are still in Brampton and I have heard many horror stories from them of the “new” hospital. I love your blog and having the ability to be able to swap stories and info with others. It helps to know your not alone in the struggle.
I like it so much I am sitting in a hotel room in Kentucky reading it (we are on vacation).
I hope things go smoothly with coming to Oakville!
See ya soon!

Thanks for all the help my daughter Sabina and our family had from you. Without it Sabina would not be the smiling, happy girl and
University student that she is now.
All the best wishes and good luck in your new adventure!

I just wanted to wish you well on your new adventures! It was such a pleasure to meet you and obtain your help for Alex. You have made a difference in our lives by seeing beyond Alex’s schizencephaly. He’s progressing well and enjoying his grade 4 year. His summer camp sessions with the City of Brampton brought many positive comments about his improvements since receiving your care (as well as Rosanna’s!!!).
Keep up the amazing work you do and thank you again, so very much for all your help!
Kathryn, David & Alex
