I'd like to say a very big thank you to all staff in A&E, the Stroke Ward and Ward 7 who treated my husband, already frail due to CBD - a progressive neurological disorder - who was admitted as an emergency.
Completely out of the blue he developed a fever, his breathing became noisy and laboured and he couldn't stop shivering. NHS24 answered my call promptly and a doctor arrived within the hour. She recognised the urgency of the situation and called for an ambulance. The ambulance men were calm and cheerful and we both felt in safe hands.
Once in A&E in Dr Gray's, staff knew the correct course of action to take. Two days after being admitted with pneumonia and a kidney infection, my husband was sitting beside his bed giving me the answers to the Press and Journal crossword which I wrote in for him.
I now have him home again. Thank you.
