Ectopic pregnancy

Posted By Joep123

"Ectopic pregnancy"

About: Fiona Stanley Hospital / FSH / Women & Newborn Services

(as a relative),

My pregnant wife and I went to Fiona Stanley hospital today due to my wife experiencing pain. Unfortunately we was told it was ectopic which can be dangerous. We was seen straight away, several doctors , surgeons and nurses where there all day for us to help us though the difficult time , explaining what our options. We ended up choosing to go with the surgery which was scary for the both of us but the care from the hospital staff was amazing couldn’t have asked for more! A special mention to the surgeon who came and sat with us and talked to us in detail explaining exactly what was going on before carrying out the surgery, I think his name was Jim. And the after care from the coordinator nurse (can’t remember her name but she was amazing) who helped us with the after care couldn’t be more grateful for such nice people to help us though a bad situation!

Dear Joep123,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience regarding your wife's recent care at Fiona Stanley Hospital (FSH).

I am sorry to hear of the distressing circumstances that brought you to the hospital and appreciate how challenging and uncertain this experience must have been for both you and your wife.

It was encouraging to read that the doctors, surgeons and nursing staff involved in your care provided timely, compassionate and professional support throughout your visit. I was particularly pleased hearing of the surgeon who took the time to explain the situation and treatment options in detail prior to surgery, as well as the nurse coordinator who supported your wife's recovery and aftercare. Taking the time to ensure patients and their families feel informed, supported and involved in decision-making is an important part of the care we strive to provide.

Feedback such as yours highlights the positive impact our staff can have during what are often very difficult and emotional circumstances. Your comments are greatly appreciated and will be shared with the Obstetrics and Gynaecology teams involved in your care, including those staff members you have recognised.

Thank you again for sharing your experience and for acknowledging the dedication and professionalism of our staff. We wish your wife a smooth recovery and both of you all the very best for the future.

Kind regards,

Luke Dix

Executive Director
