Recently, I got up felt fine and went to get washed ready to go to work. Suddenly I felt pains across the top of my chest. No matter what I did they wouldn't ease or go. I phoned for an ambulance to my house and it arrived within 15mins, unbelievable service.
The paramedics were brilliant, they did tests, reassured me calmed me down and took me to Ayr hospital. I was taken into A&E and looked after straight away by a very kind, patient and understanding doctor and nurses who did ECG's etc and took my bloods. I was then transferred to the brand new Ambulatory Care Unit that had just opened that morning.
All the doctors, nurses and other staff in there were amazing as they answered all questions, gave reassurance and were excellent at guiding you to make the correct decision. Nothing was to much trouble for them. , supplying tea, coffee, water, a pen to do crosswords, anything! !
A troublesome patient who said he was a politician who knew Jeremy Hunt was professionally dealt with by the by the nurse and doctor. Tremendous Care and attention throughout, good food and a positive attitude by staff helped me through a difficult time. Thank you all!
Nobody could have done more for me, but just a wee idea, may be a tv somewhere could be good for overnight patients. That's not a criticism just a thought
"Tremendous Care and attention throughout"
