On 25 November I was sent by my doctor to Cramlington hospital with a suspected mini stroke.
After seeing the receptionist and waiting for my name to be called which was about 10 mins., I was taken down to the Orange section to be appraised and examined by a doctor.
I hadn't been there long when I had an ECG, bloods taken, blood pressure etc.
Although I was there for a few hours I also had to have a brain scan.
I cannot fault the good service I received from the doctor and nurses.
I was then taken to the Strokes unit where more tests were taken by lovely staff who were extremely professional and thoughtful.
When the results were through, the doctor explained to me that a TIA had occurred and they dutifully explained the medication I would have to take.
Finally after receiving my medication I got the go ahead to go home.
All I can say is I have nothing but praise with the way I was treated. Thank you.
"Had no complaints!"
