In January I experienced an episode of chest pain and i attended minor injuries as i was working at Bridlington hospital site that day.
The tests etc resulted in me being transferred by ambulance to A &E at Scarborough.
During the journey i was treated by the paramedics ( who were excellent) and taken into A &E. After being there most of day and ending up on EAU I was referred to rapid chest pain clinic and allowed to go home with various treatments. During this visit I was moved by the care and compassion shown to myself but also other patients who were there at the time. 10 days later i was seen by cardiology who said they would send me for angiogram as messing about with other tests would not be helpful. Hopefully the wait would be about 4-6 weeks as due to covid impacting.
After 1 further visit to A &E i had angio 4 weeks later at which point i was admitted to coronary care due to results . The staff here were amazing. I was treated with such compassion and they provided such support to me and my family during my 10 day stay. I struggled being a patient ( i myself am a health professional) and they made sure to support me through all the ups and downs especially as no visiting due to covid.
Then i was transferred by another fab ambulance crew to castle hill then 3 days later i had the procedure and was allowed home.
I cannot fault the care given ,and this is even more impressive due to all the extra pressures placed on them by covid.
They saved my life, and i saw them go above and beyond. You are a credit too the job. Thankyou , I will never forget your care.
