"Nothing was too much trouble"

About: Pilgrim Hospital / General medicine

(as the patient),

I had blood test at my GP and it was found that I had too much potassium in my blood. I was then taken from my home to Pilgrim Hospital. Once there I was put into a ward. The treatment started immediately. I was on a drip and fluids were pumped into me. It took a lot of bags on the drip to flush out the toxins I think it was about 15 per day, and after several days I started to feel a lot better. 

It turned out, that I had severe kidney disease and was very close to meeting the man in the sky! I had scans etc and s PET scan, which was clear. So I was elated when given that information. A few days later I was allowed home. I had been in Hospital for 6 weeks and 2 days. I'm glad I allowed the doctor's to do whatever they thought was necessary. I thank all of the nurses and HCA staff, they couldn't do enough for all of the patients, nothing was too much trouble. I also thank the doctors and consultants.

Hi Spudulous

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your recent experience around your stay at Pilgrim Hospital albeit a long stay. We always value receiving feedback, it is especially heart-warming for all staff involved in your care to receive such complementary comments from you.

We would really like to share this with the ward team as we know they'd really appreciate reading your lovely feedback so if you could contact me via patient.experience@ulh.nhs.uk with the ward details, we can share it with them.

Wishing you good health in the future.

Best wishes

Sharon
