Having a heart attack and finding out I'm diabetic

"Having a heart attack and finding out I'm diabetic"

About: Community Services (Adult Physical Health) / Cardiac Rehabilitation Physiotherapy

(as the patient),

Felt like i had indigestion, wife called ambulance and was blue lighted straight to Sheffield for stents. Once on the ward i was also informed i had diabetes.

A few weeks after discharge i got a visit from Bethany. She instantly became my guardian angel because she was the first person to explain things to me clearly which cleared my head. I felt like i was a ship in a bad storm not knowing my outcome then Beth took charge and steered me into calm waters. To me she is an absolute legend and a huge credit to her profession. Don't know what we would have done without her.
