I was forwarded by my GP to the Ambulatory Emergency Care Unit at Wishaw General Hospital to investigate my above condition.
On arrival at the A&E Dept. I was directed to the above Care Unit where I was immediately attended to and allocated a bed.
A complete analysis followed
Personal Details noted
Blood pressure taken
Temperature taken
Blood taken
There followed an explanation of my problem with a doctor
Refreshments (coffee) was provided while waiting results of bloods
On receiving blood results was spoken to by the unit consultant ie asking questions about my condition etc. carrying out various examinations pertinent to my condition then explained his prognosis and that he was sending me for a CT Scan to be absolutely certain that there was no stroke activity.
I received the all clear re the Scan and was allowed home.
In total I was in the unit for approx. 5 hours and I could not fault any of the staff on any activity and they were a shining example as to what the NHS can be.
