Exmouth ED for a prostate problem

"Exmouth ED for a prostate problem"

About: Exmouth Health Service / Emergency Department

(as the patient),

I'm a person with a mistrust of hospitals due to other experiences. So I waited too long to front up to Exmouth ED in substantial pain with no ability to urinate. Was that a mistake waiting and pre-judging.

I was rushed straight in and drained of 1.8 litres of urine. Much better but still some pain and infection. I was kept in for 6 nights with drips and drains. The doctors and nurses worked their magic, keeping me up to date with their treatments.

After release, my backup visits for prostate treatments were second to none. They have re-examined my total medication use and suggested more reductions.

Would never have believed you get better treatment outside the "big smoke".

Thanks to Dave, Roger, Shashi and nursing staff.

Dear grey volunteer,

It was wonderful to read of the great care you received from the team at the Exmouth Hospital Emergency Department. Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with us.

I was so pleased to read that the team provided you with professional high quality care and that your follow up care was second to none. I hope that your experience with our team has helped to reinstate your trust in hospitals. Your story is also really important as it will encourage others who may also be feeling a little apprehensive to seek treatment when feeling unwell.

I have passed your compliment on to Dave, Roger, Shashi and nursing team which was greatly appreciated. I hope you are well on the road to recovery and I wish you all the very best.

Kind regards
Michele
