"Heart attack and cardiac arrests"

About: University Hospital Hairmyres / Cardiology

(as the patient),

Hi I had a heart attack last year in Monkland's hospital. I was transferred to hairmyres hospital the next day I had a anagram and 3 stents put in later in the afternoon I had a cardiac arrest and I was brought back by the nurses they done a great job reassuring me every would be OK I got a temporary pacemaker put in. Then that night I had another cardiac arrest the nurses were great with me I was really ill for most off the 2 weeks I spent in the ward at hairmyres the nurses and the consultants could not do enough for me during my stay in the hospital I can't thank  them enough for what they done for me keeping me alive and still here a big thank you to all of you.
