My father was rushed to A&E and took straight to resus - he was very poorly and agitated we feared the worst. My father is very fit and healthy and walks around 4miles per day, so to see him this way was extremely upsetting. After numerous tests he was placed on a NIV machine (I think it was called) and eventually transferred to ITU.
Both the A&E and ITU drs were amazing and the nursing staff all I can say is just wow the care, compassion, knowledge and fight they have for their patients is admirable. Special mention to Yvette - my mother and I were in awe as you handled multiple patients in resus in your stride all while explaining exactly what was happening to different patients and their families and making us laugh along the way - you put us all at ease. You are an amazing individual and fantastic nurse the NHS needs more nurses like you.
Thank you to all staff involved you saved my father’s life - he is now home after a few weeks in ITU and recovering well.
"Incredible nursing care"
