"Thank you to a and e and itu"

About: Darlington Memorial Hospital

I was rush to hospital via ambulance due to a massive asthma attack. By what i am lead to believe as cant remember alot about this bit was very close to death, but thanks to the amazing doctors and nurses. I was introbated, ventilated within mins of getting to hospital. From there i was sent to itu where i was slowly woke. i can remember everythng particularly hearing the same voice calmly talking to me even though i could not move or open my eyes. They talked to me all the way through telling me what they were doing.

i can honestly say can not have wished for better .Felt so safe at such a scary time. This continued once i was awake. Nothing was to much trouble even though you could tell they were busy they never complain just got on with it in a very provisional manner.

I wish to personally thank every one in itu 1 and 2 never ever have i been treated so well, with complete dignity and respect i hope this does get past on to them, as they deserve all the thanks as all you hear is the bad and this most def was not the case.
