"I owe my life to my consultant at Respiratory..."

About: Russells Hall Hospital / Respiratory medicine

I have been with my Consultant for over 15 years or more. I was suffering so much day and night 24/7 on my sleep or when I am a wake. This counsultan have changed my life. I always and I still saying I owe him my life, because I used to think I am a dead man and I was very close to death in many times when my breath become worse and I couldn't even speak to ask for help but with my wife next to me I have been saved by the ambulance many times.

When I was admitted to this Doctor he looked deep and deep to my suffering and helped me with many ways, and now I have not called the ambulance for a long time. I am a wheelchair bound I used to be scared and worried when I transferred from my wheelchair to my bed because of my Asthma attacks and chest problems, I when I used to turn on my bed from side to side most of the time with my wife help I also get very worried. At the moment I can turn on my bed without having chest problems and Asthma attacks and I am no longer scared of moving from my wheelchair to my bed.

The Doctor has found out that I am not just suffering from Asthma only but I have been diagnosed with many other medical problems which is himself is dealing for this and deal with all the conditions I am having and he always giving me the right medications that works for me.Dr team and nurses are great very caring staffs working very hard and always report any medical problems to the Dr and they deal with it very quickly and actively. his secretary also very polite and very nice person and she is very easy person to talk to when I need help and always sort out my concerns with my appointments issues.

As I mentioned two particular ladies are kind beautiful nurses I always see them with smiles on their faces, I see them every two weeks and I always feel happy before even seeing them.

Thank you so much to my counsultan and his team ( nurses )
