About: Geraldton Hospital

(as the patient),

I went to Geraldton ED with extremely bad headaches only a couple of weeks post neurosurgery. The staff were as quick as they could to see me. I had scans and x-rays done within minutes of walking in to see the doctor. I was given pain relief that suited my situation. I was kept overnight and monitored and then given a new method to try to reduce my pain.

In this time they had tried to make contact with my neurosurgeon (he was unavailable at that time), so the doctor said I could head home to be comfortable and away from bright lights and noise and the doctor said he would contact my partner or myself once my surgeon had contacted him back. 

I could not fault any of the staff, they were all amazing, empathetic to my situation and helped me to the best of their abilities.
