I suffered stroke like symptoms and my friend rang 999. I was categorized as category 2 due to my age (in my forties). I was taken to Daisy Hill by friend and immediately taken into emergency care.
The stroke team were in place waiting for me as soon as my blood pressure was taken. I received full dedicated care and attention.
I recovered quite quickly however due to lack of MRI facilities stroke was not confirmed for 3 days. On confirmation I was brought back in straight away and full set of tests completed in record time including cardiac investigations.
The care of all staff in DHH was exemplary and I will be forever grateful.
