"Diagnosed with a blood clot"

About: Galloway Community Hospital / Accident & Emergency

(as a service user),

The night before I started to feel the symptoms of a suspected blood clot in my right calf..pain swelling ..heat. Next morning I drove myself to Stranraer A & E dept..To my relief and eternal thanks I was dealt with speedily and expertly with the nurses and doctor on duty and after a scan confirmed I had a clot behind my knee in my calf, a DVT ...I was given an injection and had an appointment made for me to see my gp the next day... I was very impressed by the staff and my care that day.
