"First class speedy treatment"

I suffered an amaurosis fugax involving my Right eye. I came to the AandE dept at the Great Western Hospital and had an urgent referral for a carotid duplex which revealed a severe internal carotid stenosis. This was rapidly followed by a telephone consultation the next day wirh one of the consultant neurologists who said I needed an urgent surgical referral. I asked to be referred to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford as I had previously had a Left Atrial abberant pathway ablated there. This was agreed and within a week I saw a vascular surgeon at the John Radcliffe Hospital and a week later I underwent a sucessful Right internal carotid endarterectomy under local anaesthesia. I am now recovering at home.

Basically, I am saying I had wonderful assistance all along the line from amazingly competent medical practitioners who between them

appear to have saved me from a major stroke or even death and I cannot thank them enough for the highest standard of care.

All those involved along the line, medical,nursing and ancillary were most professional and gave me an amazing standard of care.

Thank you!
