"You are all stars"

About: University Hospital Wishaw / Emergency Department

(as a relative),

Last week, my husband was on his way to the bus stop inside the grounds of Wishaw General Hospital, but he could not get his breath ,so he decided he had to make a stop at the a&e department. The staff all acted very quickly from the moment he stepped into the waiting room. They managed to find that he needed oxygen, took bloods and finally dicovered that he had a blood clot in his lung. Thank you to all their hard work. They really are amazing people that work in that department. You are all stars.

Dear Very worried wife,

I am sorry to hear of the frightening ordeal that occurred to your husband. It must have been a very frightening experience for him.

I am pleased to read that your experience was positive and that he was seen, reviewed and treated quickly.

The staff strive each day for excellence and when they receive feedback that is so kind it makes our job so worth while.

I hope your husband is recovering well.

I will ensure that this feedback is shared with the ED and ECU staff.

Best wishes

Andy
