My husband was brought in via ambulance following our bike ride having suffered severe leg cramps & fainting. The ambulance crew were fabulous. From the time I arrived, I was met with amazing caring staff, the lady at reception was so helpful. Once I had provided all relevant information for my husband she then organised an orderly to take me to my car via a short cut as I had parked it in the wrong area (via google maps!). The nursing staff were all very caring & attentive, keeping us well informed as to what was happening. Ben (Dr) who attended to my husband was fabulous. He provided us with great information & advice on where to go from here. Unfortunately, I believe the staff in ED never get enough praise for the amazing work they do. It can be an incredibly stressful environment to work in with critically ill patients, & patients & their family/visitors can be so rude & offensive instead of thinking ‘there must be someone sicker than me’. Well done to all the staff in ED for a great experience.
