Atrial flutter returned 6 years after laser ablation. Apart from being very frustrated, heart was racing, felt sick, had headache & was generally jittery. Admitted via 999 to Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy A&E.
Excellent response time from 999 call centre & first class care by Tommy & Ali, the paramedic team. Ambulance stacked for 1 hour from approximately 9pm before I was admitted to A&E. 7 hours later, I was advised I was going to be admitted to Admissions Unit 1. There all day & night, during which time I had telemetry attached to me, before being admitted to Cardiology ward 23 at 0800 hours.
Care in the ward was superb, from cleaners to advanced nurse practitioner ( thanks, Una, you went above & beyond & not just about my cardiac issue ) & everyone in between, both day & night. You have a brilliant team, Steph. Doctors approachable, also.
"Care was superb"
