In September 2024 my hiatus hernia erupted, and I was rushed to Ayr Hospital, where I was admitted to the Cardiac Care ward, unable to swallow anything. Although treatment options seemed to be limited, the care I received was first class and couldn't be faulted.
After investigation I was transferred to Station 9 where, again, there was a wonderful team of staff, working with real care and compassion. Although my prognosis was poor, the care provided went some way to making this bearable.
I was discharged to palliative care in October, since when the follow up care has also been first class, largely organised and arranged by the hospital's McMillan Nurse.
I recently attended the ambulatory cardiac ECG unit for a 24-hour monitor to be fitted. Again, the staff care was first class. I did not recognise the name of the commissioning doctor, but I would certainly appreciate feedback on the outcome, as I will do anything at all that I can do to extend my time here.
Thanks to everyone.
