I was sent to A&E after having a blood test at my gp surgery the previous day, apparently due to a low magneseium level. I went with my husband who has Alzheimers and the treatment we received was excellent. I had to go to the day ward dept for an infusion, and the staff there treated us with respect, care and friendliness.After the treatment I had to be admitted as tests showed a calcium level was low. I was transferred to ward 44, cardiology, and again I was made comfortable with friendly nurses, hcw and all staff. Overnight I was attached to a drip that wasn't particularly comfortable however, I was given the treatment with respect and friendliness. I just wanted to express my thanks to both departments for keeping me informed of what was happening and keeping me comfortable. Thank you.
"Friendly staff"
