I arrived at Heartlands A and E dept one afternoon about 1. 00. I was in extreme pain from sciatica, there was a small queue which went down very quickly and I was seen by a nurse who took my details and told me to wait for the doctor to call me.
A short while later I was called in and examined in depth by Ayesha. She prescribed some tablets and painkillers for me and gave me morphine. I was taken to the CDU unit in a wheelchair as I could not walk and given a bed.
The nurses there kept checking on me and giving me meds as required. Later that evening Ayesha came on to the ward and came to check on me. I was still in severe pain and she got me some stronger painkillers which helped when they kicked in. She was very efficient and caring and nothing was too much trouble. I was allowed to go home at around 11 oclock and she made sure|I was ok with that.
Nothing was too much trouble and I could not have had better care anywhere. I am on the mend now and many thanks to all your staff, especially Ayesha.
