"Treatment from a side effect of anticoagulant"

After a pulmonary embolism in December 2919 I was placed on an anticoagulant. I suddenly began to suffer from prolonged heavy bleeding I attended the Women’s day clinic and was promptly admitted. They needed to stop the bleeding and investigated the root cause. All of which was complicated by the anticoagulant; the proven drugs and procedures could result in blood clots. 

I was admitted to ward 208 Gynaecology. From my very first encounter with the team from the women’s clinic to the ward and through all the work they did to help me the information was clear precise and honest. I could ask any question and nothing was too much. They introduced themselves so I knew all their names and they treated me with dignity and respect - I was an emotional patient who was very wary about the procedures they had to perform. They make it clear that the treatment was lead by my tolerances and dealt with in a kind profession and just downright humane manner. It made for me a very distressing situation bearable and I cannot thank them all enough. The ward was clean the food was good and ALL staff were fabulous. PPE was hampering the way the Team wanted to deliver their care but they did so so well.
