I suffered a Stemi heart attack recently. The paramedics who arrived at my home were absolutely fantastic (especially Ross) who comforted me and got me into a calm situation, explaining to me what was happening at all times. Managed to get my breathing regulated and relaxed me as much a possible with his very caring and empathetic manner.
When I arrived at hospital the crash team (Sumy, Lisa, Thirupathi, Dr Stewart, and registrar Sayed) took over and I can not thank them enough as they basically saved my life. They were so efficient and professional, it was amazing. They all comforted me and advised what was happening at all times and assured me that all was okay. I learned later that this amazing team had been working all day and were called out at night to attend to me.
The NHS receive some negative publicity at times, however when required under emergency situations they are totally amazing and deserve medals. They are quite literally life savers.
The after care I received also on ward 106 was also excellent with many doctors, nurses and support staff making me feel at ease and comfortable, ensuring I knew what was happening at all times. Sarah in particular went above and beyond to look after me.
I want to say a huge thank you to every single member, the people in the cardiac crash team and on the wards. You are all magnificent and do not get enough praise or appreciation for the life saving work you carry out as part of you daily routine. The NHS are lucky to have such dedicated and devoted people.
"Amazing service"
