"Emergency. As mission"

About: Musgrove Park Hospital (Taunton)

I was on holiday in minehead when I was taken ill with severe stomach pain Musgrove being the nearest hospital my Partner took me to A and

E I became an emergency admission I cannot praise and thank the A/E Doctor enough and all of his staff from then on X-rays scans and admission to Barrington Ward . I had emergency surgery the same night every department from then on was a seemless operation I cannot thank the day and night staff of Barrington Ward and the same for Montecute Ward where I was eventually transferred what a fantastic hospital the care I received was amazing nothing was to much trouble. Thank you for providing accommodation for my Partner when we were so far from home, and the long visiting hours so he was able to be with me all day ,it was such a traumatic time .

A week later I was allowed home and with a five hour journey ahead of us we made it .

Thank you Musgrove once again you are amazing

Thank you so much for taking the time to post your experience. I have passed your message to the Emergency Dept team and those on Montacute and Barrington wards. It will no doubt make their day to receive it.

I was heartened to hear that we were able to accommodate your partner - presumably at our league of friends bungalow, Bastable Lodge? We are fortunate to have that facility. We know for many relatives it can make such a difference.

I am pleased you have now made it safely home and I hope you continue a good recovery.

Best wishes

Karen
