"Coping with a heart attack"

About: Dr Gray's Hospital / Cardiology (Heart Conditions)

(as the patient),

After my heart an attack I enrolled in the Cardiology program it was the best thing I’ve  done. Starting the course has helped me so much in my recovery physically and most mentally.

Speaking to other people who when through a similar experience was great to here there reactions and to speak about the way they felt I found it easier to talk to them knowing that they went through as well. As for the team at Dr Grays Elgin they where fantastic the four where all very professional, knowledgeable, understanding about the situation I was in.

The talks after the physio sessions I found very helpful in explaining about the different aspects of a heart attack I found getting my head around it the hardest but talking to them was so reassuring they listened and helped me so much it was so rewarding.

It is a excellent course it put me on the right track to try and improve my health I can’t thank the team enough for all the help. I miss them.

Dear MyHeart1Help

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. It is great to hear how much the Cardiology program has supported your recovery—both physically and mentally.
We’re delighted to hear that the team at Dr Gray’s made such a positive impact. Your kind words about their professionalism, knowledge, and compassion mean a lot, and we’ll be sure to pass them on.
The post-physio talks are designed to help make sense of what can be a life-changing event, and it’s wonderful to know they helped you feel reassured and informed. Recovery is as much about understanding and emotional support as it is about physical healing, and your feedback highlights just how important that balance is.
We’re so glad the course helped put you on the right track toward improving your health. You’ve made incredible progress, and we’re proud to have been part of your journey. We wish you the best for the future.
