I became very unwell while on holidays in Perth and went to the GP. The GP said I needed to be admitted to hospital. I went to RPH ED and waited for less than an hour before I saw the triage nurse who reviewed the GP letter and prioritised me for care.
Within a few hours I was admitted to a short stay ward and then to ward 5A. I had tests done that enabled staff to make a treatment plan and received pain relief. I remained in hospital for 5 days for treatment and during that time was moved to ward 5B to be monitored through HIVE. I also received review from the OT and the Physio and dietician. Once the treatment had been effective I was transferred home. The OT made a plan for when I return home to Melbourne to get some more services at home.
