St. Peter’s Post • Spring 2007 3

Even though it has been years since his last wrestling match,Mike Sharpe is still recognized by fans who remember him asIron Mike Sharpe. Etched in their memory is his characteriza-tion of the ‘bad guy’ who sported the mysterious black armband and wrecked havoc on his opponents in the ring.However, to fans who meet him, it doesn’t take long for them tosee that in reality, Mike Sharpe is one of the good guys. Mikenever hesitates to stop and speak to a fan or share behind thescenes stories from his days as a professional wrestler.

These days, Mike has another message to impart to his fans, andthat is the importance of good health – something Mike doesn’ttake for granted especially after being hospitalized for a seriousleg infection.

In the summer of 2006 while working in his backyard, Mikeaccidentally cut the lower part of his legs. Thinking these wereonly minor injuries, he did not immediately seek medical atten-tion. However, the cuts on his leg became infected causingsevere pain. The pain led to a bad fall which required emer-gency medical care and hospitalization.

For the first two weeks,Mike couldn’t get out of bed due to severeulcers and wounds on his legs and poor circulation as a result ofthe infection. After three months in acute care, Mike was trans-ferred to the rehabilitation unit at St.Peter’s Hospital in July 2006.

As a rehabilitation patient, Mike presented a bit of a challengefor physiotherapist Anne Smith. At 6’ 4”, Mike was definitely alot taller than other patients Anne was used to. When he firstarrived, Mike needed a wheelchair, so Anne started him on con-ditioning and strengthening exercises. However, it quicklybecame clear that even with all the weights applied to theequipment, the exercises were too easy for Mike.

“Working with Mike, I had to ensure that he was doing exercis-es that were good for strengthening but at the same time chal-lenging for him – which was quite different from what is con-sidered challenging for my other patients. However, as a formerprofessional athlete, I didn’t have to sell Mike on the impor-tance and benefits of exercise in his rehabilitation. In fact,Mikewas very self-motivated,goal-oriented and always doing as muchas he could to get better.”

Focused on getting back on his feet, Mike didn’t hesitate to fol-low orders. “As an athlete, a performer, and a stuntman, I wasalways in tremendous shape because I was constantly active. Allmy life, I had my own exercise routine I followed, but becauseof my physical limitations as a result of my injuries, I had toadapt to doing what was necessary for me to improve.”

Mike also credits the interaction with other patients as con-tributing to his recovery. As a wrestling fan favourite,his celebri-ty did not escape the other patients in the hospital. Mike wasoften approached for an autograph,to meet visiting family mem-bers, or just to talk.

“I was surprised that so many of the other patients recognizedme from my wrestling days, but I always enjoyed speaking withthem. I could relate to what they were going through in rehab.I realized that getting better was not just a physical thing, butthat socializing with the other patients was another form of ther-apy. By sharing our stories and struggles, it helped make me real-ize that I wasn’t any different with my own health problems.”

The popular patient was also a source of inspiration and moti-vation for others as well. Although she wasn’t initially familiarwith Mike’s wrestling career,Anne was happy to see the posi-tive effect he had on the other patients. “Mike is very outgoingand has a gregarious personality. He talked to everyone andtried to cheer up the other patients when they were feelingdown. He was always one to stress the importance of exerciseand was a great booster for rehab.”

Eventually Mike began to use a walker and then just a cane forsupport.After nine weeks, he was discharged in October 2006.However, that wasn’t Mike Sharpe’s last appearance atSt. Peter’s. To date, he still attends chiropody at the hospital ona weekly basis and continues to make time for patients whocould use a little boost.

Snoezelen® uses technology toenhance sensory experiences.Lights, sounds, aromas, tactile sur-faces and moving images are used tostimulate, relax, calm, or energize.

As an important therapy in manag-ing the effects of dementia,Snoezelen® is regularly employedby therapeutic recreation staff atSt. Peter’s Hospital.“Sensory aware-

ness and appreciation is a strengththat generally remains intact asdementia progresses,” explainsLaura Robertson, therapeutic recre-ationist.“So,our goal is to encouragepatients to participate in activities

that promote interaction, help to manage a challengingbehaviour, or enhance their remaining skills.”

At the hospital, a Snoezelen® cart is making it possible forstaff to bring the therapy to patients anywhere in the hospi-tal. The cart is equipped with fibre-optic strands, a lightedbubble tube, a black light, a projector that displays images orcolours,an aromatherapy fan with essential oils,different tac-tile objects, and a CD player.“The reaction to these activitiesis very dependant on the individual and the reason for thetherapy may be different for each patient,” explains Laura.“For some patients it may help to spark a memory, while forothers it may help them to relax.”

Snoezelen® therapy has also been used with patients who arenearing the end of life.“Many palliative care patients are unableto participate in traditional programs because they are too ill,”explains therapeutic recreationist Kim Morgan. “With theSnoezelen® cart,we are able to bring activities to the bedside.”

At St. Peter’s Residence at Chedoke, our long term care site,a specially designed Snoezelen® room is available for resi-dents. The room features all of the sensory activities listedabove, as well as an eye catching painting entitled “GoneFishing,” by local artist Elizabeth Gruevski.“Within minutes,there is a noticeable difference in a resident,” commentsAndrea Dean, resident program supervisor. “For example, aresident who is generally non-communicative may open upand talk about how the lights or sounds make them feel.Theexperience or outcome is different for each person.”

The Snoezelen® concept was defined in the late 1970's byDutch therapists, Jan Hulsegge and Ad Verheul, while workingat the De Hartenberg Institute in Holland, a center for peoplewith intellectual disabilities.The concept quickly garnered sig-nificant interest across Europe.Snoezelen® is now used in over30 countries in education and care settings for: children withdisabilities and autism spectrum disorders; and for individualswho have Alzheimer’s or other dementias,mental illness,chron-ic pain, challenging behaviors, acquired brain injury, and otherconditions. In addition, Snoezelen® is gaining momentum inthe mainstream population as an antidote to stress.

Whether it is to help spark a memory,stimulate the senses or calm an agitatedpatient, Snoezelen® has become an integraltherapeutic tool at St. Peter’s.

Provincial InitiativeBoosts Infection Control

As the result of Operation HealthProtection (OHP) - a three year ActionPlan implemented by the Ministry ofHealth and Long Term Care (MOHLTC) torevitalize our public health system by pre-venting threats to our health and promot-ing a healthy Ontario – infection controlinitiatives are being enhanced across theprovince and at St. Peter’s.

As part of this provincial initiative, wewould like to welcome Mercy Fynn-Sackey to her new position as Infection

Control Practitioner. She will be working alongside VirginiaTirilis, Infection Control Coordinator, on a part-time basis.

Mercy first joined St. Peter’s this past December as a reg-istered nurse. In addition to her nursing experience, Mercyhas participated in a research project through the WorldHealth Organization regarding the knowledge and use ofuniversal precautions by healthcare workers in Ghana;assisting in organizing seminars for nursing and other pro-fessionals; and developing infection control guidelines inseveral health care institutions.

Mercy obtained her Bachelor of Science in NursingDegree at the University of Ghana, West Africa and hasbeen a member in good standing with the College ofNurses of Ontario since 2000. She has held positions atvarious health care facilities including Trillium Health Centreand Credit Valley Hospital in Mississauga, and RichardsonHospital Centre in Montreal.

Wayne Plummer is probably one of the most recognized facesat St. Peter’s Residence at Chedoke. On a daily basis, Waynecan be seen picking up the mail at reception, and then deliveringit to the nursing stations on each of the Residence’s seven ter-races. On Thursdays at pub night, Wayne acts as the MC, intro-ducing the entertainers and then closing off the evening. Andon Aspen terrace where he lives, Wayne has taken on taskssuch as changing the menu boards each day, updating birthdayannouncements, and helping out with recreational games suchas BINGO and bowling.

It is not surprising then that since starting to volunteer at theResidence in June of 2006, Wayne has accumulated almost300 hours of volunteer service. “I enjoy helping out and keepingmy mind and body active,” says the 62 year old. “I am alwayswilling to help out when I can. I don’t consider these tasks a jobbecause if you make something a ‘job’ you don’t enjoy it.”

President and CEO Donna Crippswould like to welcom Debbie LogelButler to St. Peter’s team as the VicePresident of Development.

Debbie is an expert and dynamicfundraising professional with exten-sive knowledge in developing and

implementing well-rounded fundraising programs that includeannual,planned,capital and major giving programs.

Much of her previous experience has been within the healthcare and education sectors. Debbie has held leadership posi-tions with St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation, St. Joseph’s Villa

Foundation, and most recently, Mohawk College as theExecutive Director, Development and Alumni Relations.

While at Mohawk, Debbie was responsible for the successfulcompletion of Phase I of the college’s first-ever capital fundrais-ing campaign,which surpassed its target by half a million dollars.

Debbie is a Certified Fundraising Executive (CFRE) with theAssociation of Health Care Philanthropy and the NationalSociety of Fundraising Executives. She holds a Bachelor of Artsdegree and a Management in the Not-For-Profit SectorCertificate from McMaster University; and a Public RelationsCertificate from Ryerson Polytechnical Institute. Just last year,she completed the Bay Area Leadership Program.

The first blood transfusion in the117 year history of St. Peter’sHospital was performed onFebruary 6.

Unlike at acute care hospitalswhere blood transfusions are thenorm, St. Peter’s has not historical-ly provided on site blood transfu-sions. Patients requiring a transfu-sion are typically transported to anacute care hospital for the serviceand then back to St. Peter’s.

“This new initiative was motivatedby our commitment to providingcomfort and the highest level ofcare for our patients. Being able toperform this service on site willdefinitely enhance their care,” saysElizabeth Krausz, Director ofIntegrated Clinical Practice atSt. Peter’s. “For many of the peo-ple we serve, particularly palliativecare patients, transfers to an acutecare hospital can be physically tax-ing. By being able to meet thisneed on site, the patient canremain in an environment that isfamiliar and more importantly, in

the care of professionals who theyinteract with on a daily basis.”

The service was made possiblethrough a collaborative partnershipbetween St. Peter’s Hospital,Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS)and the Hamilton RegionalLaboratory Medicine Program,Transfusion Medicine Service,McMaster Site (HRLMP). Theleadership and staff of both HHSand Transfusion Medicine workedtirelessly with St. Peter's to ensurea successful transition to this newmodel of care delivery.

“We are proud to be part of aquality initiative so focused onimproving patient care,” saysDuane Boychuk, Manager of theTransfusion Medicine Departmentof the HRLMP. “This type of coop-eration is what makes Hamilton aleader in the provision of excep-tional healthcare.”

To date, the in-house blood

transfusion program is primarilyavailable to palliative care patients,with plans to expand the serviceto other patients in the near future.

“Over the past several years, we’veseen a dramatic change in theneeds of complex care patients,”explains Krausz. “The people wecare for today, require highly skilledand expert care for very complexand multi-issue illnesses. That iswhy, at St. Peter’s, we are dedicat-ed to continually furthering theexpertise and scope of practice ofthe members of our care teams.”

St. Peter’s would like to thank ourpartners at HHS and the HamiltonRegional Laboratory MedicineProgram, Transfusion MedicineService, McMaster site for theirsupport, dedication, and expertisein building this program with us.Together, we are enhancing thelives of patients in complex carehospitals.
