My mum received life-saving care in the hands of the teams of these wards. The staff were so attentive and supportive.
My mum’s most vulnerable time was when she was in CCU and she was cared for by highly experienced and yet humble staff. They effectively supported me, her carer, as well.
The Cardiology ward staff listened carefully to her needs and to my feedback, even though they are evidently constantly working at a fast pace. This saved my mother’s life a second time as they picked up an emerging pneumonia and treated it quickly.
My mother is NESB.
All this was even more amazing because in ED I was told she only had 3 days to live and that her heart was going to suddenly stop. Yet my mum was home for Christmas and had lunch with her young grandchildren, son in-law and me.
