"Long night but excellent care"

I spent a long, worrying evening in A&E waiting to be seen, waiting for blood results, waiting for a bed and then finally news that all was clear and I could go home. For someone who works in healthcare, it was really interesting to see that part of the patients journey and what they go through before being admitted to a ward. I can now understand how exhausted and disoriented patients must be by the time they are finally settled. The hard work that goes on from the whole MDT in A&E from the domestics to the consultants is clear and although it is far from perfect it was very evident that everyone is trying their best with the resources they have.

I am very grateful for the care and attention I was given especially from student nurse Faye and Dr Megan (sorry I didn’t get surnames).

Thank you NHS Fife
