Had an accident on my motorbike

About: Northern Ireland Ambulance Service / Emergency ambulance response Royal Victoria Hospital / Accident & Emergency Royal Victoria Hospital / Trauma & Orthopaedics

(as the patient),

Riding to mot center when a van pulled out of side road without looking my way. I hit the brakes and hit the back of his van. The driver thought he had hit a pole turning into the opposite. I felt very scared ,thought 'That's me, nite nite.' Remember lying on road awake and hearing voices, then paramedics were helping. After that in royal hospital where I rushed into  a&e where I was treated with unbelievable attention from the nursing staff. Each and everyone of them were outstanding in working on my injuries to keeping me calm and relaxed. The staff were amazing. After a&e I was moved up to the truma ward level 8 where the nursing, in my belief, went that extra ten miles to make sure I was comfortable, not in pain and had everything I needed for my recovery. They were absolutely 💯 amazing, always smiling, always caring, always making sure I was OK. I cannot thank all the staff in trauma ward for what they have done for me.
