Early in the morning in mid-December 2023 I suffered from a severe asthma attack. I received excellent care and attention from the anaesthetic and intensive care staff in University Hospital Hairmyres.
The doctors and nurses worked to keep me calm and help me recover very quickly. I have been asthmatic for over 20 years and until this time have never before requires hospital care, making the whole episode all the more alarming.
I wanted to say thank you to all the staff who helped to look after me, but especially to Maureen, Tina (Theresa - Dr from a different hospital), Susie, Aidan, Austen and Jane on the medical side and Gemma, Janet, Geraldine, Morag and Amy on the nursing side.
Even though I am a member of clinical staff myself, being on the other side of healthcare and feeling so helpless is a difficult thing to navigate. You all made it so much easier.
Thank you for all the love and care you showed me. You are all superstars in my opinion.
