"Percutaneous Coronary Intervention"

My admission to the Cardiac Catheterisation Suite, Beeden House was for the insertion of Stents into my heart arteries. The admission procedure was pleasant and carried out in a professional manner by all the staff. The procedure was explained and any questions I had were answered in understandable terms. The procedure took two hours and I was able to communicate with the Doctor and staff all the time. I was told that at certain times I would feel a slight sensation of pain for a few seconds, but all the time I was asked if I was Okay. After returning to the ward for recovery I was asked if I would like some refreshment which I accepted. The staff duly checked my progress every half an hour through the rest of the day until I was allowed to depart. In addition to the regular staff two Research nurses asked for my participation in two separate projects which I readily agreed to. My response to being asked to participate was I suppose because I had been treated so well that day and I felt I could give something back to repay for this.
