My wife had a heart attack at 3 a.m. The 999 operator was calm, organised, and got us doing sensible things when we could. The ambulance arrived quickly; the paramedics liaised with the Cath Lab at Hairmyres and prepped her in the living room. I went to see her at 7 a.m. at the Coronary Care Unit at Hairmyres and she was fine and chatting after getting two stents - staff there kindness itself. She was transferred to the Coronary Care Unit at Ayr that afternoon. The staff at Ayr the next day were superb, including the Staff Nurse, Cardiologist, the scanning staff, and others - she was anxious to get home and they were so responsive and understanding. She came out that afternoon.
