My daughter was admitted to hospital following a suspected ectopic pregnancy.
I can not praise the staff enough for their speedy assessment of the situation, the life saving surgery preformed and the care the 4 anaesthetists provided during her surgery.
Following her surgery she spent time on the Critical Care Unit where staff whilst caring for my daughter took the time to keep her husband and myself up to date on her situation.
The next morning following surgery and her being taken her off the ventilator the consultant surgeon visited her along with colleagues, informed her of what had happened and what they had done to save her life along with her future fertility.
She was later transferred to Ward G2.
The staff there not only cared for my daughter but allowed her husband to visit well outside of usual visiting hours.
This allowed him to support her following this surgery but also allow both of them to come to terms with losing their baby.
One doctor stands out for their care and kindness as not only did they visit my daughter twice a day to establish how well she was recovering but they also found the time in their busy day to listen to my concerns re my daughters emotional wellbeing.
I must thank the staff on the Critical Care
Unit who followed up my request for a priest to visit my daughter, this gave me a great deal of comfort at this difficult time.
I would also like to thank the member of staff who visited my daughter following her surgery, this person had seen my daughter as she enter the unit and realised that she was unwell and gone to get assistance.
I feel that my daughter could not have received better care anywhere in England and will be eternally grateful to all concerned.
Words can not express my gratitude.
