I was in the ED for a completely unrelated issue. I felt fine and healthy before I went into the ED however after about 10 mins in the heat, I fainted in resus, luckily I was caught by staff members. I was very concerned as I had no prior history of fainting. The doctor and nurses treating me were very attentive and kind. I was very impressed by how the staff in the emergency department handled an emergency situation. The care I received was amazing, they ran every test necessary to see if there was anything underlying which caused me to faint. I was given a private side room as well which was very nice and very clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The doctors even got me a drink to perk me up again. We concluded that I must have fainted due to the heat and this is the only thing I think could be improved. The staff were quick to act and rule out any serious medical conditions as well. Well done to the Daisy Hill ED staff
