My mum was admitted on Christmas Eve and was diagnosed with Acute Bronchitis and a urinary tract infection. She stayed for 10 days in total. She was given a chest x ray, a ct scan to check for a blood clot in the lung, oxygen, steroids and antibiotics, plus regular monitoring of her Type 1 diabetes. I am so grateful to every member of staff who looked after my mum, and made sure she made a complete recovery before allowing her home. With it being Christmas it was a particularly difficult time, and the hospital was busier than ever.
The staff, who I know are struggling and working harder than ever for nowhere near enough money, were friendly, polite and caring and gave my mum everything she needed. I can't thank you enough, and tell you how much I appreciate each and every one of you.
