As I had no symptoms I was surprised when my GP said I had a heart problem. I had a holiday in South Africa booked, so I needed to see a consultant quickly.
An appointment was made at QEH in Birmingham. I saw a consultant in early September and had a pace maker fitted three days later. What service!
I am now ready to fly to South Africa, six days after having my pace maker fitted.
All medical staff have been brilliant, my practice nurse, GP, consultant, clinic staff and ward staff.
NHS - wonderful.
