Outpatient Echo cardiogram

About: Scottish Ambulance Service / Patient Transport Service Western Isles Hospital / Outpatient Clinic

(as the patient),

My GP requested this test and I needed ambulance transport. I was very apprehensive as I had not been off my property for a year due to my poor mobility and Covid.

Kirsteen took me the 45 miles to and 45 miles from the hospital to home. I cannot praise and thank her enough for her professionalism, care and kindness. She quickly put me at ease, and made sure I was OK throughout both journeys. If you were me you would want Kisteeen rewarded for her care. I am just one of her patients. She is caring for a lot of people during her week, and is much much more than a driver.

My experience on the ward was equally positive. The only name I remember is Nurse Sophie Who is one of this team of Angels. They were so kind, and so observant of all the Covid 19 practices. They even got me lunch! Please tell them all a big thank you from me.
