"Attentive, diligent, kind and very thorough"

I developed sudden severe pain and swelling in my left elbow recently.  After two trips to out of hours, I was admitted to ward 5C of the QEUH Glasgow where I stayed for 7 days.  It turns out I had bursitis and cellulitis; both of which I'd never heard of before.  

The staff, particularly on Ward 5C, were attentive, diligent, kind and very thorough throughout my entire stay.  It is reassuring to know that there are people out there to catch you if and when you fall through one of life's many trapdoors!

I would like to thank and name every staff member individually, though unfortunately between the exhaustion, medication (incidentally, I'd love to watch an episode of David Lynch's seminal and surreal TV show Twin Peaks while on morphine) and pain, it's sort of Mission: Impossible.  To the ones I do remember through the purple haze, in alphabetical order:

Adam

Gordie

Grace

Jen (and the nurse who was with her a lot of the time - I can't remember how to spell her name!)

Katie

Patrick

Rosie

Sam

Skye

Sophie

Stefano

Thank you to one and all and to those I couldn't remember.  You're great.

It would be remiss of me not to mention the waiting times, before being admitted to the ward.  I came into the hospital around 23:00 on the Monday and wasn't admitted to a ward until approximately 16:45 on the Tuesday; nearly seventeen hours, of which I spent less than an hour with health care professionals.  I can only hope such wait times would not adversely affect some poor, unfortunate soul in a worse condition than mines.  Minutes and hours could make a big difference to an outcome.
