My time in hospital for a stroke

"My time in hospital for a stroke"

About: South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust / Emergency ambulance Wycombe Hospital / Cardiology

(as the patient),

I wanted to compliment the whole team that looked after me.

Not sure if you can pass this on but even back to the ambulance men who brought me in they looked after me the whole time they were with me.

I was taken into high Wycombe in October for a stroke I was taken to the CSRU were I went for a head scan later moved onto ward 8 we’re the staff were really nice & caring.

I know been a hospital they should but compared to other hospitals you could tell this was genuine not just because i have to.

2 of the nurses were really helpful & friendly & would go as far as saying a credit to your hospital I think one was called LaLa on ward 8 & the other was from the CSRU I think her badge said FE.

Once again it wasn’t just these 2 it was everyone down to the porters the lady serving breakfast & drinks the people in the MRI room the whole team made my stay with you more pleasant 

Please pass my gratitude on to them as I think that during this difficult time they all do a fantastic job & should get more gratitude from the government 

This is why I’ve copied Matt Hancock in this
