I have a very complex medical history and was in the hospital for seven months although l can eat by mouth l also have to get tpn my nutrition nurse Vikki has been my life line l know she is only ever a phone call away l would not have managed my illness as well as l do if it was not for her and the rest of the team I'm under if something is not right l phone her and she finds out what she can do to help l started vomiting when l was comming off the tpn in the morning between her and the dietician Allison who l was under found it was a rare side effect of the tpn and l got a different mix to take and I've been fine since my advice to any new or existing patient is make sure you speak to your nurse looking after you l find with Vikki no matter how small my worry is she always finds time to listen to me l and all my family will always be really grateful to Vikki for all the care and understanding she has given me she says she's only doing her job but we feel its a lot more than her job
