(as a relative),

My dad took ill in mid Oct. We had call 999.the 2 girls were lovely who took us to antrim area hospital. The cardiac doc who came was amazing. He was so supportive to both myself an brother the whole nite/morn.He tried everything to help dad those hours an informed us each step an let us sit with him when not working on dad.

We felt like dad mattered in those hours like he didnt just give up on him.an we are very grateful for this.dad passed away in the morning hours. An our world just ended. but I wanted to tell our story as way to thank the cardiac doc an his team.to show the impact they have on ppl in worst possible times an compassion they showed us,as well as hard job they have do.

Thank you!
