"emergency admission and subsquent heart treatment"

I collapsed at home experiencing extreme fast heart rate 210 per min plus. Emergency response was first class and caring, I was greeted by an emergency team who dealt with me very efficiently and caring establishing my deteriorating condition and treating with swift action. Once transferred to a cardiac ward where I remained for a week, Ward 37, the care and constant monitoring of my condition was excellent. Tests were performed and surgery uncovered a condition I was born with but which had never been picked up.  My heart surgery was completed and was allowed home. My only niggle was I wasn't made aware of a team of specialist nurses who could answer my after care questions. I had to make several phone calls to establish who to speak with etc and once that was in place the care has remained of a very high standard.

As a member of BVH staff its good to be able to report on such a positive experience from a patient perspective.
