(as the patient),

Went to monklands with stomach pains for last 2 weeks as GP said it was food poisoning . Thank god I went when I did as my appendix had ruptured.

Was seen quickly with accident and emergency who were fab . Admitted to ward 4 that night ,put on IV antibiotics for next 2 weeks when I had to undergo an operation to remove appendix .
