"Recent urgent admission"

I was suffering from acute lower abdominal pain and a slight temperature. My GP practice, Lander Medical, were brilliant and despite phoning on a Friday afternoon, I spoke to an on call GP within 45 minutes and then saw him, face to face an hour later. He contacted the Royal Cornwall Hospital and arranged for me to be seen in the Same Day Surgical Assessment Unit. On arrival there I had a bit of a wait, but was eventually assessed and it was determined I needed to be admitted. A bed was found on the Emergency Surgical Unit and IV antibiotics were started. Early the next morning I had a CT scan. At the ward round later that morning I was told I had a small perforation in my bowel, which would initially be treated conservatively, with iv antibiotics, in the hope it would heal itself. 4 days later I was discharged with oral antibiotics to take for 5 days. Everyone on the Emergency Surgical Unit was absolutely brilliant - kind, patient, caring and went above and beyond, despite being very busy. I would like to convey huge thanks to them and my GP surgery. Well done Royal Cornwall Hospital and Lander Medial Practice in Truro, Cornwall.
