I work away an awful lot and on visit to our customers in Scotland I became Ill and very concerned
On waking up as normal I went to the toilet and a significant amount of blood was lost!
So what to do, so typically man style I thought it was a one off and even being concerned I went to visit my first customer site, whilst on site I needed to go to the toilet again and the same happened again with the blood loss.
My second customer site was just around the corner so went there also and again I needed the toilet and yet again a significant amount of blood showed in the toilet bowl
So with gritted teeth and fear I made my way to A&E at Hairmyres
From entering the building I was really looked after in the Reception area and in my as semester, moved into inpatients and again the staff and treatment was first class.
Within a 3/4 hour period I was assed and put on ward 4, surgical receiving seeing another doctor who went through what they were going to do, I even had some food and tea and toast at 8. 00 pm, cracking brew! ! !
Again the day and night staff were amazing and I was so looked after.
You should be very proud of this hospital and the staff, 10 out of 10 to all the nurses, doctors and porters.
On leaving the following morning I was driven back home to Lankashire by my family who came up to take me home
Again thank you so much for looking after me 😊😊😊x
