My husband had a heart attack at the wheel of our car. I was in the front passenger seat I had to crash the car into a lamp post to stop. I then had to get him out the car and start CPR.
The ambulance arrived and took him to our local hospital Hairmyres, where he spent 3 weeks. They decided he was a good candidate for CRTD treatment and he was transferred to the Jubilee and within 4 hours of his CRTD procedure what a difference in him. His colour changed, he pinked up, I got him home on the 23rd of January.
Unfortunately the top wire dislodged requiring another visit for a repair. He was home the same day. I am so grateful to The Jubilee not only for helping him but for giving us both a quality of life.
As a wife of a patient with a heart issue it's not just the patients who benefit from the amazing treatment you give but the whole family Thank you all from the bottom of my heart ❤️
"Family benefit from your amazing treatment too"
