"MRI Heart Scan Thursday 1st November 2018"

I am very Claustraphobic and in the past had a very bad experience at North Tyneside Hospital. Today I was at Wansbeck for a Heart scan where dye was injected than a drug to stress the heart. All of the staff were excellent. They explained and did not make you feel you were stupid. They had sympathy and empathy. They showed me the scan and how much bigger it would to the last one I was in. Explained what they would be asking and doing. I have had 3 heart attacks in the past and have a stent in the main artery. I also have Psoriatic Arthritis and spondolitis of the spine. being flat on my back is a nono, but they made me comfortable and proceeded. They asked regularly if I was ok. The Dr was lovely to and explained about the drug Regadenoson. An excellent team. The receptionist was kind and the cup of tea was delicious. Thank you.
