As a patient with a congenital heart under the care of Bart hospital, on finding that I was having a constantly rising pulse and breathlessness, I consulted the Nurses on the GUCH team who recommended that I should have an ECG with them if possible but if not by the GP who would relay this back to them if necessary. The GP advised that that I should go to A and E.
On checking in I said I thought I might have a cardiac problem.With in 5 minutes I was taken through, met by a doctor and assistant who did an ECG. I was then admitted into A and E.I was seen by the cardiology team who decided to admit me to Medical Acute unit. There I had constant monitor put in place .After one night, I was transferred to Meadvale ward where I remained for I week under the excellent care of the Cardiology team of doctors.The care I received throughout was exemplary!Nothing was too much trouble. Everything was was explained to me, I was kept informed right along the way.I was treated with courtesy and kindness throughout.All the staff, doctors, nurses, assistants catering staff and pharmacy staff gave me reassurance at all times.I was impressed by the cleanliness and attention to detail shown by all in whatever capacity they were working.Thank you East Surrey. It was a pleasurable and reassuring experience being under your care.
"Excellent cardiology care"
