Following a further Infective Exacerbation of COPD which had been showing signs of onset over the previous few days we had cause to request an emergency appointment at our local GP Medical Practice in Coldstream. Dr Morton was absolutely outstanding in her care for my wife, and had no hesitation in stating an ambulance would be called and a visit to the BGH was on the cards.
Scottish Ambulance Service were equally outstanding! On admission to A&E at the BGH and some examination my wife was first admitted to the MAU Ward 6 for 24 Hours, transferred to Ward 4 the following day. My wife and I cannot praise enough the exceptional Staff that were on duty throughout her 5-day stay. The care of Dr Williamson, to the Nurses, Physiotherapy, the Auxiliaries - and in deed 'Jamie' who done the Tea Trolley - the care, kindness, understanding and humour was immense.
Hospital is never my wife's favourite place - but the outstanding care shown to her from GP through to Ward 4 was very much and gratefully appreciated. We have no suggestions how things could have been improved - how can you possibly improve - on perfect care from the highest professionals. Thank You All
"Outstanding care shown to my wife"
