"Post care communication"

Posted by Geo1 (as the patient), 8 years ago

I was admitted to Hairmyres hospital in March this year following a suspected bleed in the brain. Unfortunately, there was a lack of communication as to what had actually occurred and whether I required any treatment. I was recalled approximately 3weeks later for an MRI, which I have received no results or further communication from.

Dear Geo1
I'm so sorry you had such a bad experience during your recent illness. I would be really keen to talk this through with you and help if I can. Can I ask that you get in touch with me directly. If you phone 01355 584485 with your contact details my secretary will ensure I get these.
Many Thanks
Susan

I wish to convey my gratitude, firstly to Cynthia who was very helpful and reassuring of my query. Next to Ms Friel who replied quickly and professionally. Finally, to Dr Mackie who responded in a prompt and professional manner. These responses have assisted enormously and given me piece of mind. I thank you all.

Dear Geo1
On behalf of Cyntthia, Dr Mackie and myself; you're very welcome!
Dr Mackie also asked me to confirm to you that she's now spoken to your consultant, as you discussed.
Thanks
