I attended the Emergency Department with symptoms that were eventually diagnosed several weeks later as Lyme Disease. The care in A&E was exemplary, particularly the junior doctor who arranged for me to be admitted and undergo a range of tests.
My care was taken over by Dr Becket and he did not leave any stone unturned to secure a diagnosis and treatment plan. His care was unbelievably good. He and his equally superb junior doctors were so kind, as were the staff in the AAU, ACU and the Urgent Care Centre who looked after me so well, particularly the 3 Senior Registrars who performed the lumber punctures that led to my eventual diagnosis.
I would also like to thank staff in the CT and MRI unit and the Neurology consultants who helped with the diagnosis. Finally, I would like to thank Dr Farmer, my Infectious Diseases Consultant, and his colleagues who have been so supportive.
I regret not keeping a note of everyone’s name so I could mention them all as they deserve.
"Fantastic care across a number of departments"
