Was very sore and tight chested last week.. Went to A&E, Kirkcaldy on Sunday afternoon and received quick treatment and tests, which confirmed wee heart attack.
After a day and a bit in Ward 21 was moved to Edin Royal on Tuesday. Angiogram and angioplasty on Wednesday and home on Wednesday night. I am overwhelmed by the care and attention I received from all staff in both hospitals, from nurses, doctors and surgeons, and not to forget the porters who wheeled me about and the catering staff.
Our NHS seems to get a lot of criticism but I couldn't fault the care I received during my short visit. After-care is also lined up with a nurse home visit and a GP appointment.
