"I owe so much to them"

About: Lincoln County Hospital / Cardiology Sleaford Medical Group

(as the patient),

I went for a gentle jog but soon after reaching home, I began to feel seriously ill. No chest pain, but started to feel cold and was sweating more than I should. After 20 mins or so I began to get seriously worried - still no chest pain though so the thought of having a heart attack didn't enter my mind. My wife took me to our GP Surgery (Sleaford Medical Group) where I was rushed into the treatment room. One ECG later and the HA was confirmed. Dr Pardoe (my GP) and his team were superb, within 10 mins I was in an ambulance heading towards Lincoln.

On reaching Lincoln County Hospital I was rushed into the Coronary Treatment Lab, undergoing a stent insertion via my right forearm. This took 3 hours owing to slight complications. On returning to the CCU I had already begun to feel better, but was kept under close obs for 24 hours. The staff at the CCU couldn't have been more professional, caring and attentive. I owe so much to them. A family friend stated - once he knew I was at Lincoln CCU - that I was in one of the best Coronary Care Facilities in the UK. I'm not surprised by this. I feel so, so much better now too and have returned home.

It is great to read that your wife was kept informed at all times and this will have stopped her worrying more as she knew what was going on.
