Maurie Sherman, the lively personality from The Roz and Mocha Show on KISS 92.5, never imagined that a routine day at work would turn into a life-altering experience. While filming a video for social media, Maurie broke his humerus bone after crashing on his elbow and shoulder during a chest bump gone wrong. In excruciating pain, Maurie was rushed to Toronto General Hospital’s emergency department. It was a whirlwind, but the team attending to him made all the difference. “They were fun, they made me comfortable,” Maurie recalls. “Their calmness turned what could have been a terrifying experience into something bearable.” A few days after his emergency room visit, Maurie found himself at Toronto Western Hospital, inside the Schroeder Arthritis Institute’s fracture clinic. Dr. Veillette, an expert in orthopedics and fracture care, decided against rushing into surgery. Instead, he devised a careful plan that allowed Maurie’s bone to heal naturally. Eventually, Maurie started physiotherapy and was lucky to be paired with Laura Panta at Altum Health at Toronto Western Hospital. The two hit it off right away through the challenges of physiotherapy. Maurie’s experience at University Health Network was not just about medical treatment – it was about becoming part of a community. “I have a better understanding now about why donating is important,” he says. “Investing in health care is investing in our community, and in something we’ll all need at some point.” Read more ➜ https://bit.ly/3SIUIdr Schroeder Arthritis Institute Altum Health - University Health Network #UHNfoundation #UHNITED #Physiotherapy
