"Amazing care and compassion around a hard time"

My aunt was admitted to Antrim ED late one day early June. Unwell for 4 days, normally active and well. In ED she received a terminal diagnosis and unfortunately passed away the following day. This was extremely sudden and a great shock to the family. Getting that bad news is never easy and in an ED setting in the middle of resus I imagined it to be much worse. However the care, compassion from the medics, Orla and Drew was amazing. Despite being so busy the nursing staff were also great unfortunately I do not recall the names of those at night as I was getting so much information at that stage, but Caitlin who took over for day shift was exceptional.
