"Care following chest pain"

On a holiday on Arran I had chest pains, irregular pulse and claminess, symptoms I couldn't ignore. I was admitted promptly ino the War Memorial hospital, Lamlash who confirmed I had had a heart attack through the change in blood troponin level over 12 hours. I was transferred by helicopter to the coronary care unit, Station 5 where my condition was stabilized and investigations and observations were conducted. I received medical care from Dr J. Reid and nursing care from the team led by Sister Gail and advice on my rehabilitation from the cardiac team (Michele, Laura, Lindsay). I was discharged as at low risk of a further MI event a few days later and await my appointment for a myocardiogram. Throughout, I was treated expertly, with skill and consideration in every aspect of care from the morning cup of tea to drug administration and blood sampling. The ward was very efficiently run. I thank all the members of the medical, nursing, physiotherapy and support teams for their skill, patience and kindness.
