"Emergency Admissiom"

i Was taken to Epsom Hospital by ambulance on Wednesday 30th in the evening.

I had a fever and breathing difficulties.

I was taken into the resus unit where I was treated immediatelly.

Once I was stable I was told there were no beds available and that i would spend the night on the trolly.

It was a long night but the care I received from the staff was amazing.

They were doing the best they could in the circumstances.

In the morning I was moved to The Hub, holding area to wait for a bed.

I was moved onto a more comfortable trolly with a mattress and pillow!!

It was another 12 hours before a bed became available in Swift Ward and I was finally moved.

But again the standard of care I received in The Hub from the staff was so caring.

I had pneumonia, I felt really ill, I was worried about the bed situation.

I spent 4 days on the ward and I am now home.

I just want to say Thank You for the amazing care I received from when I arrived until i returned home. The NHS at its best.
