on the 10/12/23 I was rushed into hospital
as I was suffering hard to breathe and it felt like my ribs were crushed and my lungs caved in i had low blood pressure rapidly heartrate of 150 over had oxygen given to me on the way to hospital so i could breathe better when i got to hospital nurse or doctor ask me questions
about my condition and how i felt and I explained the feeling i was having i had
a ct-scan to see what was going on bloods taken for testing i had an Xray taken the wait was like 5 minutes nice nurse or doctor came round explained why i felt like I did and it is known as a spontaneous pneumothorax with is more or less a clapesd lung on my right side so I had to have a keyhole (vats) surgery performed witch is a tube inserted into my side inbetween chest wall and lung to allow the fluid to be removed through a tube to drain to allow my lung to expand I would like to thank the nurse who performed the keyhole vast surgery and all the staff that looked after me even I want to thank the raspatory nures for the advice before I was discharged from the hospital I would like to thank the paramedics for bringing me to Emergency service if it wasn't for the nice nurse at Shotley Bridge hospital who called for the ambulance I probably would be in a worser condition
