In for 48hrs with Kidney Infection

Story from nhs.uk

"In for 48hrs with Kidney Infection"

About: Royal Blackburn Hospital

I was admitted to B14 on my GPs advice following severe pain after a few days of urinary tract infection. It took sometime to get a bed but whilst waiting I was well looked after by a very kind nurse. After a night in a private room I was moved on to the Urology ward C22 where nurses and doctors continued to monitor me closely, bring me food and water, free voucher for TV and all the information I could want about my condition. 48hrs of being on a drip with intravenous antibiotics and I was happily walking about with very little pain. I was given two weeks of antibiotics to take away and a very attentive doctor answered all my questions. I can't believe the kindness I received during my stay and would rate all the staff very highly.
