My papa was admitted to Wishaw General in September 2018. He was an emergency admission to the ED department following what appeared to be a stroke. He was quickly taken through by SAS and assessed. After assessment and diagnostic tests we were told he was being admitted. Karen was the nurse who was looking after him and she fully updated me and my mum & supported us. We were then admitted the the Emergency Care Ward where we were greeted by Staff Nurse David who informed us that he and another nurse would settle our relative and he would get us into the room shortly. David, once he had settled my papa took the time to listen and understand what my papas day to day life had been.
My papa was then transferred to ward 11 where he spent 8 weeks being assessed and looked after. It was during this time that I felt he was looked after & given the best rehab possible. He has now been transferred to the strathclyde suite & his care will continue there.
Every step of my papas journey was made that little easier due to the care he received. So on behalf of my family and I thank you, as a nurse myself I know how much it means to make that bit of a difference.
"My Papa."
