We hear so much bad press about the N.H.S mainly because the people of Britain love to moan Here's the N.H.S on a normal day.
Earlier this month:
On a night out down the local pub having a few drinks and dancing like me dad, everything going fine and every bodies enjoying themselves then bang down I go and my ankle had snapped {that's break dancing}.
Within 5minutes the ambulance crew are at the pub and accessing my situation. I'm on my way to East Birmingham Hospital.....
Upon arrival to the A and E department I was introduced to the team that was going to look after me, sent off to X Ray within 15 minutes I was back in A and E. The guys wrapped up my ankle. filled me full of pain killer and put me to bed,
The next morning I was put on Rowan the trauma ward (nil by mouth ).
I lay there watching the staff go by their day to day duties and going the extra mile shaving, feeding, chatting to the other patients and just being of a happy disposition, It goes a long way to help the healing process (For the full 12 hours )
That afternoon I went down to have my ops and again the staff were great keeping me informed of everything that was about to happen now, when I came round, the nice thing here was it was the same two guys when I woke up. (great move guys)
Back to my ward the nurses were waiting "would you like a coffee, would you like some toast", They were great, treating me like a king, I went home the next day but really wanted to stop as I haven't been pampered like that for an age.
That was only two weeks ago eight screws and ten stitches later
I'm now an outpatient with a long road to travel but I have the best team behind me and that's the guys at the East Birmingham N, H, S.
