My wife was taken into A&E last Friday. I was made welcome by the Staff Nurse and was able to stay with her. My wife has dementia and did not have a clue what was going on. She had a CT scan and X-ray as well as blood tests, no hanging around. Eventually I was informed that she was to stay in for one or two nights.
I was impressed that the ambulance crew came to see how she was getting on.
On telephoning the ward to check that she was happy, the nurse informed me that all was well.
I was a little disappointed that on the Monday when I had a call to say that the doctor had cleared her to return to her care home, it took 7 hours to get her prescription before transport could be organised.
Otherwise many thanks to the staff at QEQM.
"Thanks for everything"
