"A very reassuring and humbling hospital stay"

About: Dr Gray's Hospital / Emergency Medicine Dr Gray's Hospital / General Surgery Dr Gray's Hospital / Surgical Assessment Unit

(as the patient),

I was admitted via Accident and emergency

 to Dr Grays with severe abdominal pain in the early hours of  a Thursday in August. I then went to SAU for assessment then ward 5 for treatment. 

I was in severe pain and anxious to know why and for the pain to improve.

Once in to accident and emergency I was treated promptly and efficiently and investigation and treatment commenced. (Thanks Dr Ellie and Morag)

I then went to SAU where I was very well  looked after. (Thanks Alison) and attended for CT scan. 

My scan showed a perforated diverticulum which was a surprise but relief to know what was causing my symptoms. 

I then went up to ward 5 for almost a week of more treatment and recovery. (Thanks to all. Shelley, Jan, Sara, Amanda, Victoria, Jim, Amy, Alison and many more.)

This was a busmans holiday for me and was very reassuring and humbling to be so well looked after by colleagues, friends and new acquaintances. 

Thankyou very much Dr Grays. You do a great job.  Xxx

Dear ThankyouGrays

Thank you so much for using Care Opinion to share your recent experience through Dr Grays Hospital.

Its very reassuring to hear of your positive stay in hospital and the prompt and efficient care you received in the areas you attended through your 'busman's holiday'.

I hope you are continuing to improve now you are home.

I will forward your comments to the SCNs in the relevant areas so they can share with their ward staff.

Thank you again

Kind Regards

Diane
