I was admitted to Ward 1A from Lagan Valley A&E. I was having problems breathing, coughing and very wheezy. I initially contacted the Respiratory hub where I have always been very well looked after. Was advised to make appointment with A&E which I duly did. My appointment was 2.30 and im happy to report I was seen at 2.40. As my Sats were low after I was triaged I was moved immediately onto a trolley. Put on Oxygen which helped. At every step of the way I was fully informed about every blood test , xray and my regular observations. My treatment was absolutely amazing.
I was moved up to Ward 1A. Immediately I was assessed and again I was informed at each step of my treatment. I very much regret not getting the names of everyone involved in looking after me and I stress everyone. I cannot put into words how well I was treated. Everyone on Ward 1A went above and beyond what i expected. The day staff of all the nurses, the doctors, the wonderful ladies who cleaned, the ladies who gave us our food. I want you to know Everyone is included in my thanks. To the night staff as well and in particular one male nurse whose name I didn't get , was so attentive.
I was so impressed by the kindness, the care and the patience of the staff to my fellow patients. It was as if they were looking after a family member such was their care.
At the point i must also mention the quality of the food. Too many times we hear about inadequate hospital food. Not the case in LVH. Food was hot, wholesome and plentiful. I have actually gained a few pounds.
I also want to place on record my thanks to Dr Crawford, Dr Tate and Orla ( respiratory nurse) and also the young man who was my Physio. I cannot thank you enough .
I would appreciate it if all staff on ward 1A are made aware of my gratitude.
Thank you
"My wonderful care"
