I had sepsis and didn’t realise

Posted By An ABBA fan

"I had sepsis and didn’t realise"

About: Victoria Hospital / Accident & Emergency Victoria Hospital / General Medicine

(as the patient),

At around 4am, my husband had to phone for an ambulance as I couldn’t get out of bed. I was immediately taken into hospital with a temperature of over 40 degrees.

The staff in A&E were really good. I eventually was taken to ward 54 and all the staff were brilliant. When I saw the doctor on the Friday he said I had sepsis and I got a shock at that. I'm not a lover of hospitals but my stay there was good.

I got out on the Monday late afternoon. Big shout out to Staff Nurse Dean who made me laugh, and thanks to ward 54 I’m still here.

Dear An ABBA fan,

Thank you for taking the time to post your patient feedback on CareOpnion.

I am pleased to hear that you were swiftly attended to by the A&E department and received prompt treatment.

I am also pleased to hear that your stay was made much more pleasant by our nursing team. We are delighted that you have now managed to be discharged home. Hospital stays are not pleasant and we are glad that we were able to lift your spirits. Dean will be pleased to hear this and I will pass this onto him and the nursing team. Thank you once again and take care.
