"Emergency Tracheostomy"

Anything else?

I came to this Hospital with a very sore throat, I went to A&E department at around 11ish at night, Drove myself by Car, Within minutes of getting to the emergency unit, I found that I could not breathe, The staff immediately Called for a E,N,T, Doctor, And Mr Praveen put a camera in my nose and diagnosed a Severe epiglottitis, He then performed a Crash Tracheostomy, While I was awake, With Local Anaesthetic, The Staff in the recovery, And also the staff on the ward at Surgical Six for the next few weeks were great and kept me stable in ICU, The doctor Saved my life in the first place, I am so thankfull that they were there when I came to the hospital, As without them, I am pretty sure that I would not be here now, I do not know how to thank them, What a great person, And so professional, Thank you doctor for my Life, Best Regards, Steve Mccleave
