About: Royal Cornwall Hospital (Treliske) / Emergency Department South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust / Emergency ambulance

(as the patient),

After hip replacement surgery I was discharged from hospital.  A few days later began to feel poorly eventually having thumping in my chest.

Paramedics visited and I was taken to hospital where I was eventually found to have dehydration.  I was given a drip and eventually felt better.

Everyone was excellent at the hospital and especially the paramedics.

The service was excellent and I was very impressed ythe service

Thank you again for taking the time to feedback and we hope you are recovering well after your surgery.
