Our Mum and sister was rushed by emergency ambulance to University Hospital Wishaw following a suspected stroke .
The Emergency Department team were waiting on her on arrival and she was taken immediately into resus . Following assessment by Patrick the Dr in charge and Niamh the stroke nurse she was the was taken to the CT scanner and a stroke was confirmed . She was then rushed to ward 11 for thrombolysis . From arrival at the hospital ED to transfer to ward 11 was around 20 minutes . I can’t thank the ED Sarah the ED Nurse and ward 11 staff ( Niamh and SCN Sharon ) enough for their calm,professional care, compassion and swift treatment .
They are amazing teams and from the bottom of our hearts we can’t thank them enough.
The long road of rehabilitation now starts .
"Compassion and swift treatment"
