Sad to say, despite valiant efforts we could not bring home the trophy. However for me the hospital deserves a trophy for outstanding and compassionate care in my hour of urgently required need.
Within 25 minutes, a skilled and professional team diagnosed my problem and took me, from home, into the A & E, where other skilled personnel administered vital support to a heart-related issue.
An overnight stay with dedicated caring staff led the way to a successful conclusion that culminated in a comprehensive care plan.
All concerned have my heartfelt thanks.
