My wife started to feel pains and compression in her chest and then strong tingling sensations down her left arm and given her family history of her father and brother dying from heart attacks, she was very worried. We live close to the hospital so I drove her there and we went into Barnsley A & E.
From the moment we got there the staff were excellent with the triage nurse Mimi being so friendly and welcoming it put my wife at ease.
We then got seen by Dr Chris who was attentive, thorough and explored every possible aspect of my wife having experienced a heart attack/episode. He was comforting, reassuring and exceptionally professional in his interactions with her.
Thankfully she had not experienced a heart attack but he explained all the possible scenarios that may have triggered the episode.
He is a credit to not only Barnsley Hospital but to all the NHS.
Thank you so much Dr Chris.
"Brilliant doctor and service"
