Your request for my views on my recent stay at Heartlands

"Your request for my views on my recent stay at Heartlands"

About: Heartlands Hospital / Accident and emergency West Midlands Ambulance Service University NHS Foundation Trust / Emergency ambulance

(as the patient),

I was feeling breathless, so my Son called the ambulance service, which, after checking me over said that it was a fifty fifty position on whether I should go to hospital. I was admitted, and examinations showed that I had a chest infection, for which I received anti-biotic treatment.

During my stay, I found that the staff, including clinicians, gave excellent service, and were thorough in their procedures. The meals were very good, and well prepared.

I would say to anyone, who has the misfortune to require hospital treatment, you are fortunate if you are admitted to Heartlands.
