I admire the work the nurses do for the NHS

"I admire the work the nurses do for the NHS"

About: Glasgow Royal Infirmary Glasgow Royal Infirmary / Accident & Emergency Glasgow Royal Infirmary / Acute/Medical Receiving Unit (50,51,53) Glasgow Royal Infirmary / Stroke care (Ward 17, 31, 36)

(as a friend),

For anyone who knows me you know how much I admire the work the nurses do for the NHS, however the last two weeks have taken that to a new level.

My friend was admitted to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary with a suspected stroke. From the staff in A&E to the staff in wards 51/53 and finally ward 36 I have no words to express my gratitude to you all.

From the domestic girls to the consultants I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. MRI shows no stroke but possible transient ischaemic attack (TIA).

The care my friend received was second to none and honestly each and every member of staff in the hospital deserves a medal.

The porters also do such a great job ferrying the patients from ward to ward. My friend is now home and continuing to do well

Dear Lingx98,

Thank you for posting your story here on Care Opinion.

We hope that after, what must have been an anxious time that you are now getting rest and are on the road to recovery.

I have passed your post to all the teams you mentioned here at Glasgow Royal Infirmary to remind them all of the impact they have made during you visit to the hospital. As you can imagine they forget the impression their hard work has on the individuals they work to support and why it is always lovely to share these stories with them.

Thank you again for your warm comments.

Heather Richardson
