I was ambulanced in to Solihull A&E with an acute anaphylaxis reaction.
Firstly the ambulance paramedics and student paramedics were so humane and caring, it must be scary for them too.
V rapid transfer, whilst I was aware I knew I had to be strapped down for safety
Emergency care was excellent and they cared so well for my anxious OH-husband.
Eventually tansfered to short stay unit. I had another anyphYlaxis that evening but the poor nurses were busy , it wasn’t their fault they didn’t respond too quickly, one the RN saw me they called a Dr but soon recognised I needed emergency support. Finally the next day, I thought I may be going home, but woke from a nap unable to breath, scary !!! Again the ward staff saved my life held my hand and reassured me. Whatever you think of this Trust, if you are in real trouble they will help you
Some things we feel are uncomfortable or worrying, A&E staff are there to save you life
Thank you, please take note CEO. Medical director of A&E and Short stay Solihull and Martin for short stay. I am very happy to talk to staff about my feelings, care etc
"Unparalleled emergency care, saved my life"
