David Huskins knows a thing or two about cars.
A previous stock car racer and avid NASCR fan, he can tell you all about the roles and responsibilities of a pit crew member. Each person has a specific job, whether it’s changing the tires or tending to the driver – they all play a crucial part in getting the car back on the track and racing quickly and safely.
Huskins said his recent experience with the emergency care teams at Queens General Hospital (QGH) and South Shore Regional Hospital (SSRH) was a lot like that – and he’s grateful for it.

Hurricane Fiona ripped through Atlantic Canada on September 24, 2022. For many people, it was a storm they will never forget. Karen Wood and her husband, “Lornie” Wood, were on their eleventh day without power in their home in Tarantum, PEI when the unimaginable happened. Lornie, aged 70, suffered a brain bleed at home and unfortunately never recovered.
Surrounded by his wife and three adult children, he succumbed to his condition four days later at the Halifax Infirmary site of the QEII. Though it was difficult to find a bright light during a very dark time, Lornie went on to be an organ and tissue donor and was able to save the lives of at least three individuals and improve the life of one other person. A reassurance Karen holds onto tightly these past seven months.
