"Great treatment"

I was referred by GP for immediate assessment (Fri 1.20 pm) As always it was bustling and busy and had people waiting. I waited patiently and they quickly confirmed I had cardiac block and needed to wait for a bed, a pacemaker and to be constantly monitored.

Fri a few hours later, a room in A & E was found and had regular checks on me. I was waiting for a bed on cardio ward upstairs which was vacated Saturday eve at 11pm.

All the nurses were great despite the massive work load and demands of other patients.

Only thing I struggled with was no patient toilets access (the general public used the same one). Ideally there should be a separate one for patients and public. Also, having checked the boredom cupboard courtesy of a sympathetic nurse there were no books to borrow (I had finished mine).

Otherwise excellent care taken
