"My daughter who took seriously ill just before corona"

About: Ninewells Hospital / Intensive Care Unit Ninewells Hospital / Medical High Dependency

(as a parent/guardian),

My autistic adult daughter who took seriously ill just before corona struck the country.

My 28 year old autistic daughter who studies in Dundee had a burst stomach ulcer in  Feb 2020. She was rushed to ninewells Hospital. She developed sepsis, had 2 life saving operations, developed flu and pneumonia and therefore had a long road to recovery. I live in Greenock so travelled straightaway to Dundee to be by her side. I was very worried re her grave condition. She was in intensive care then high dependency then a general ward. The care and attention (considering her poor state and the fact she is autistic) was first class.
