"Sudden illness"

After a 10 mile walk ,I collapsed and was unconscious for a minute or two. An ambulance was called. I had quickly recovered consciousness by the time the ambulance arrived. After a discussion with the excellent ambulance crew I agreed to go to Edinburgh Royal for further tests. There I was reasonably quickly admitted to the Acute Medical Unit Staff with a diagnosis of Atrial Fibrillation. After monitoring and tests I was discharged with advice and medication the following day.  

I would have to very strongly commend all the staff I saw - the ambulance crew, and especially the night and day shifts in the Acute Medical Unit, they were simply outstanding - great patience shown to patients and an enormously caring environment was created by all the staff. Teamwork amongst them was a case study in how it should be done. I was hugely impressed by my time there. Sincere thanks to everyone !
