"Emergency treatment at the Beatson Acute centre"

Whilst undergoing Chemotherapy I picked up a cold and bad  cough over the weekend in early  Nov 2017 which resulted in contacting the Beatson Emergency Advice number first thing on the following Monday.   After a brief discussion with a nursing adviser an ambulance was sent to take me into the Beatson acute treatment centre.   The ambulance arrived within an hour and whilst being taken to Gartnaval I was given a thorough check over.     At the Beatson centre I was immediately seen by a doctor and looked after by nursing staff who again carried out a thorough check including blood tests and xray.   Later I was again seen by a second doctor and finally by a consultant.   The end result was being sent home by taxi with a 7 day course of antibiotics. The treatment and care I received was excellent and reflects great credit on the Beatson acute unit and the service provided by the NHS.   Thank you!
