"A sudden visit to Busselton Hospital"

About: Busselton Health Campus / Emergency Department

(as the patient),

Recently, I had been coughing for about 15 hours after having a sip of water. As I suffer from idiopathic lung fibrosis, my wife was concerned that I could be doing further damage.

I was interviewed by Scott who was very efficient, after which he said the staff were making sure I had a bed to lie down on while the doctor checked me out. I was then directed to a very nice lady who took my Medicare/private health details. She wished me a happy birthday as she noticed it had been a few days before, which to me showed she was looking at all details. Very good. 

I was then taken to the emergency dept. and I was seen by a nurse whose name I did not get, who took details and proceeded to check my oxygen level, blood pressure and pulse. Following this, a doctor whose name my wife said was Abdul checked me over. His whole demeanor gave both my wife and I great confidence, but he was straight to the point and not over the top. He gave me some instruction as I could not make contact with my specialist. 

Overall the service I received was first rate and all the staff should be complimented for the way they handled my problem. Please pass on a big thank you to them all.

Dear alphadh54

Thank you so much for sharing your story on Patient Opinion.

It was good to hear that all the staff you interacted with from the Clerk through to the Doctor were helpful and thorough.

We value feedback highly and the staff will be delighted that you were happy with the service you received.

I will ensure that this is fed back to them.

I do hope you are now feeling better.

Yours Sincerely
