Medical Care at Coral Bay while camping on a station

"Medical Care at Coral Bay while camping on a station"

About: Coral Bay Nursing Post

(as a relative),

My daughter and I drove in the very early morning to Coral Bay, from a fairly remote station where we were camping, for my husband who was experiencing what we thought was an emergency situation. Katie at the nurses station was alerted by Health Direct and came in way before her shift would usually start. We all found her care, professionalism and down to earth approach incredible. The care my husband received was of the highest standard we have ever experienced medically. Katie was so thorough and compassionate and made us all feel we were being heard. She deserves a medal and we call her “Our Katie” when we tell our story to friends and family! What a golden star she is. Thank you Katie and staff involved at Coral Bay. xx

Dear crocodilewq43

Thank you for reaching out on Care Opinion and sharing your fantastic story.

I was delighted to read of the skill and expertise Katie showed when you took your husband to Coral Bay. I’m sure yourself and your daughter were very concerned and it certainly sounds like a stressful situation was made easier to deal with by Katie’s thorough and compassionate care.

Your kind words have already been shared with Katie and we will find a suitable opportunity to formally acknowledge her efforts. The Coral Bay community are certainly very lucky to have “Our Katie” supporting their healthcare needs.

I hope your husband is feeling better now and you are continuing to enjoy your camping adventures.

Regards
