"Had me in stitches!"

About: Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital

On the 24th October, because of my chronic stupidity, I fell from a ladder whilst strimming the top of a high bush in our garden. I landed on concrete and amongst minor injuries I also hit the right side of my head which received a large cut and bled profusely. My wife and daughter helped me whilst we waited for the ambulance. The two ladies who crewed the ambulance treated me with great care and good humour and then took me to the hospital. The team in Resuscitation were excellent. Highly professional and thorough. I needed a good number of stitches plus a couple of scans before I was discharged. The head dressing made me look like a smurf but throughout the whole procedure everybody in the unit was excellent ,from the medical team to the caterers who saw that I had a cuppa and a sandwich. If the review allowed me to name them I would do so , but I can only say that they were fantastic. Thank you all - you had me literally in stitches!
