My dad had taken unwell last week and I can't praise the ambulance and A&E staff at Wishaw General enough who in my eyes saved his life.
When he took unwell I called NHS24 to get some help and they had indicated that they would try and get a nurse to speak to me, I reported when I was on the call that he looked like he was deteriorating and asked if they could call an ambulance and told me I had to do this myself, really unsure why this was impossible for NHS24 and really disappointed by this, but promptly hung the phone up and dialled 999.
With this said once the ambulance arrived the care, attention and professionalism my Dad received was first class given how unwell he was and I can't thank them enough for their help for their work and getting him to hospital.
After my Dad arrived at A&E the first class care continued and again I can't thank the staff enough for what they did and in particular Michelle who was the doctor who cared for him. The care from the staff restored my faith lost by NHS24 and so glad he is here today thanks to these guys who were prompt, professional in the care they provided.
My dad is recovering well.
"First class care"
