Staff Profile
PamMedical Device Reprocessing (MDR) Technician
“During a period of transition, I was looking for a new career and a friend of mine mentioned the Medical Device Reprocessing (MDR) program. It really appealed to me because I would get to work in healthcare and contribute to patient safety behind the scenes.
This job is perfect because I enjoy helping people, but prefer to stay in the background. Working in MDR involves a lot of multi-tasking, especially in a smaller hospital where you have a wide variety of responsibilities. The work we do sterilizing and organizing medical devices has a positive impact on patients; it’s nice being part of a system that provides quality care.”
“This letter is written to express my utmost appreciation and heartfelt thanks to the Emergency Team at KDH. Last Tuesday morning I received a phone call from my teenage son Markus’s school informing me that he had inadvertently eaten a cookie containing peanuts. As he has a life-threatening peanut allergy, this was an immediate cause for concern. Markus was taken to the ER and immediately given a dose of norepinephrine, followed by an infusion after he had a second reaction. Markus was transferred to CHEO by ambulance later in the afternoon. As you can imagine, this was an incredibly impactful experience for Markus and my entire family. We have such respect for the wonderful work of the Emergency Team at KDH, to whom Markus owes his life. Everyone was caring, kind and professional. Special thanks go to Dr. Pelletier, Dr. Jones, and nurses Catherine, Heather, and Melissa."
