I live alone and am a widower and so feel vulnerable. Had to travel to PAH by myself in the early hours of the morning with an embarrassing and distressing personal condition which if not life-threatening was certainly very worrying. I found all the staff to be extremely helpful and many going out of their way to be polite and pleasant to people as well as fulfilling what is obviously a very difficult and demanding busy day to day routine. The AE department was very full even in the early hours of the morning with many people obviously feeling worried and vulnerable themselves but all were treated myself included, very sympathetically and with respect. I left the hospital with home medication and a follow-up plan if this should not prove to be successful
"Help needed at a difficult time."
