"Amazing medical staff"

About: Pinderfields General Hospital

I was admitted to A&E Resus early hours 26/03 with a severe asthma attack which sent my heart racing to dangerous levels for several hours. The terrific staff there brought me back from the brink and got me stable enough to move to Gate 12, then on to gate11 later and I was there for 5 days in total.

I owe an immense debt of gratitude to all the wonderful, dedicated staff in all these departments - I know i would not be here now without their dedication, skills and medical care.

I must point out that these amazing people did their jobs so well despite working under enormous pressure. There was a woeful shortage of beds, with many sick people having to wait in corridors for many hours, at least while I was there.

We often hear complaints about the NHS these days, but for my own part, I can find very little to complain about.

I thank you all again for the care I received

Dear Terry

Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback regarding you recent experience of our Emergency Department and Gate 12.

I am so sorry to read of your severe asthma attack and cannot begin to imagine how worrying this must have been for you. However, I am so pleased to read how staff were amazing and provided you with the much needed care and treatment.

I will share you kind words with the team as I know how much they will appreciate your feedback.

Thank you again and I hope you are recovering well.

Kind regards

Clare Blackburn
