"Here to get a brain scan done"

About: Craigavon Area Hospital / Emergency Department

(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

I had suffered from a brain aneurysm recently and have been home for 3 weeks since. Unfortunately I have been developing some blurry vision, black dots in my vision and a headache since. I am here to get a brain scan done just to check everything is healing okay.

Since attending A& E the staff have all been very nice and I feel 100% happy with the care they have gave me so far. I must say however at I currently have a drip in my arm but I am not fully aware what this is for so maybe more explanation when it comes to administering medication would be good.

I also think if possible it would be good to have an estimated wait time on a board somewhere so you could have a rough idea how long you will be waiting and then could step outside if needed for some air or to make a call without the fear of missing your name being called.
