My care and treatment at Merredin Hospital

"My care and treatment at Merredin Hospital"

About: Merredin Health Service

(as the patient),

Earlier this year I was at work and I felt very unwell. My heart and pulse were racing and I was having trouble breathing. I have had palpitations before and had been diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation, but this was worse than I had ever had it before. I went to the ED at Merredin Hospital and was immediately put into an Emergency bed, triaged and monitoring commenced. I had numerous ECG's and the nurses and doctor looked after me for the rest of the day and night. I have to say all the staff were marvelous. Very professional and caring in their approach, manner and treatment. Eventually, due to their interventions my heart went back into rhythm. I would like to thank all the staff involved in my care from the Doctor to the cleaners. A big thanks to Dr Mark, Nurses Robbie, Chris, Matt, Charles, Rick, Rita and Ann, Admin staff Dawn and Marlene, and Operations Manager Brenda for taking such good care of me. I am on the mend now and will require some further treatment, but thanks to all of you for support and care during my stay.
