"Excellent treatment under most difficult…"

20/10/20. Following my collapse at home an ambulance was called. The Paramedics team was very thorough and convinced me to go to the hospital. The A&E Department was also thorough, attentive and professional even though I had to wait some 9hrs for a bed to be made available. Mainly because I had to use a CPAP machine and a side ward was necessary. I was offered refreshments while waiting and enquiries were constantly made regarding my condition. Following the bed being made available in the Integrated Assessment Centre (room 6) I was looked after extremely well with all manner of tests being conducted. From support staff to nursing staff, Doctors and Specialists I was treated very well and professionally. The patience of all these professionals was excellent. The place was clean and all efforts were made to keep patients safe. The food in the main was very good (you can't make everybody happy) the facilities maybe could be improved. Wet shaving was difficult without plugs in the sinks. All in all I would not criticise my treatment but it would have been better if I were allowed some form of distraction to be brought in but this was not allowed because of Covit19. Well done A&E and IAC. Take several Pats on the back.
