"UK visitor concerned about possible blood clot after long flight."

I was visiting my daughter in Sydney from UK and after flight had severe pain in my leg and it was swollen. I thought I had better check it out. My daughter took me to Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney. They were fantastic there. Did a blood test and arranged a scan for me in two days time- the next day being Australia Day and no-one on ultrasound that day. They put me on blood thinners until then. Had scan which was clear but doctor who was lovely advised me to have another one in a week’s time.

I had a busy schedule travelling in the next few days and he helped me look at my schedule and we worked out I could fit one in when in Brisbane which my daughter booked for me. Everyone was so kind and professional and I was so grateful to be looked after so well as it is more stressful if something happens when you’re not in your own country. Also, to my amazement, treatment was free as it was under a reciprocal agreement with UK.  I can’t praise the staff in Prince of Wales A&E enough. Thank you so much.
