Arrived around 18.30hrs(by ambulance) Thursday 24.11.16 not knowing if my wife had suffered a heart attack. Was quickly seen by nursing staff who carried out several tests, bloods, x ray, bp etc. The environment was very "calming" but thorough. Could not believe how busy the Ward became at times which obviously necessitated patient priority changes to the Doctors lists. In due course one of the junior doctors gave a thorough and clear consultation to Joan which she very much appreciated. We were now into the early hours of the morning. Around 03.00 hrs.we saw the Cardiologist who explained that Joan could be discharged, very good news. We had spent 8.5hrs in the unit, always treated with care and consideration. A long time but we felt we were looked after very well indeed. well done Ward 19, it's good to know you are there. Grahame and Joan.
