"Hospital Care"

About: Kalgoorlie Health Campus / Emergency Department

(as the patient),

After falling very ill, my spouse took me to Kalgoorlie Hospital. I was rushed in, swabbed, and test taken straight away after a doctor had a hunch.

The hunch was correct, I had Pneumonia but worst of all it was Legionella Pneumonia, after planting seedlings. I had not taken the right precautions in keeping myself safe, after 10days I was released, but let me tell you about the wonderful care by Nurses, Patient Support and Doctors!

Wow, just wow! So much care, so much love. I got myself into a situation where I couldn't help myself but I was lucky to have the most beautiful Nurses and support people around me; I felt they listen to you, they hear you, they encourage you. Isolation is one thing I never thought I could handle but these nurses made sure I didn't feel lonely.

D Ward nurses and COVID ward Nurses - my appreciation and love to you all. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for keeping me sane, safe and getting me healthy. It's you guys that make that place a good place to be...

Dear pegasusbf54,

Thank you for getting in contact about your recent experience at Kalgoorlie Hospital. Though I was very sorry to hear of your recent illness, it was lovely to read that you were treated with such kindness and compassion while you were being cared for. I especially noted that you felt listened to, and genuinely heard, across the whole team of Nurses, Patient Care Assistants and Doctors.

I have already shared your feedback widely with our staff and I know that your comments have been greatly appreciated.

I hope that you are well on the way to being fully recovered.

Warm Regards,

David Bowdidge

Operations Manager
