I suffered a stroke a week ago and within 25 minutes from my son phoning for an ambulance one arrived and within a short while of checking me over I was taken to Hairmyers hospital. A E delt with me very speedily directly I arrived taken to get a CT scan and was then taken upstairs where I was thrombolysed and later taken to the ward where I was duely monitored throughout the night. I cannot thank all the staff from the ambulance crew through AE to the ward enough for their speedy response which was directly responsible for the fortunate outcome I have. In times of much criticism I am happy to say that my experience is one of excellence and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, and was so thankful to be able to walk out of the ward the next day and return home.
