I was admitted to Ward 42 in Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy in December 2017 with a suspected stroke and extreme pain attacks from a combination of Somataform pain disorder and Shingles. After a few days I was moved to Ward 34 and then discharged after a week.
The care I had in Ward 42 headed up by Laura and Yvonne was second to none as they helped to control my pain attacks whilst the Doctors investigated my suspected stroke. When I was moved to Ward 34, I received the same high level of attention and care from Gordon, Louise and Trish. The Doctors concluded I'd had a palsy as a result of my Rheumatoid Arthritis and low immune system and I was discharged with a pain control regime devised by the nurses. This was over New Year in a hospital at bursting point, with some staff on leave and some off sick. I couldn't be more greatful and the food was super as well!
