My quadriplegic wife was admitted via A&E with ? sepsis on 16th Oct and ended up in Eden Ward. The care and compassion provided were outstanding and all the ward, clinical and caring staff made great efforts to help my wife recover despite the difficulties posed by a hallucinating and paralysed person with minimal peristalsis. That genuine compliment aside, it is disappointing that the hospital found it very difficult to provide a hoist and commode suitable for lifting and treating a paralysed person with the result that manual handling was the only way in which a Peristeen lavage could be provided.
"YET AGAIN, EXCELLENT PROFESSIONAL CARE"
