In August 2025, my husband and I rode our bicycles to the ED as he was having what we suspected was a heart attack. He was attended to immediately. Soon after I entered the room where he was being taken care of my husband went into cardiac arrest. The rapid response and professionalism by the ED Team was not only impressive to watch but saved his life.
The emotional and frank factual support that I received from the nursing staff throughout this event was also very professional and critical to helping me cope with the trauma at the time. The cardiologists in Perth commented to us several times at the excellent job the ED team did in preparing my husband for the transfer and admission to Perth. They were very impressed. A stent was fitted that night and after a few days in ICU and CCU my husband is now on his path to recovery at home. We are both forever grateful and thankful to the entire ED team for everything they did to enable my husband to have a second chance on life.
