Arrived in ERI A&E with rapid heartbeat and feeling quite ill. I was kept in overnight in acute ward station 5. Every single member of staff was professional, caring and respectful. I was feeling much better in the evening and overnight I witnessed some of the work the staff on evening and night shift do (Connie, Dean, Katie sorry I can't remember the other nurses' names). They were so lovely with the very frail elderly people who were distressed and in pain. I really cannot praise them highly enough. To me they were treating patients as they would their own family. The staff in the morning were also lovely. The young man (young Marti Pellow with tattoos? ! ! ) was a breath of fresh air - and so kind and respectful to the distressed elderly lady on the ward. I was very fortunate that I was given the all clear to go home, but I am so comforted to know that if I, or any of my loved ones end up in ERI in future, we will be in safe and compassionate hands. Thank you.
