Treatment during carcinoid crisis

(as the patient),

I wanted to say thank you to the staff of Fiona Stanley who attended me during a carcinoid crisis that arose during my radiation treatment recently. There was the team in the in-patients ward in radiotherapy who provided emergency treatment in bringing me through the initial drop in blood pressure, the emergency staff who took over from them when I was transferred to the ED. Jane, who was on duty that afternoon, and Bruce who wasn’t but just came to see me out of concern. Thanks.  

Thanks of course to the ward staff who were kind and attentive.

Dear dracozr79,

I am sorry to hear about your Carcinoid tumour and related recent crisis. I imagine it must be a stressful time for you, and as such it is even more touching that you took the time to thank our wonderful staff for the care they provided to you.

I have shared with the wards / teams and named individuals involved in your care with my personal thanks added.

Thank you again for sharing, and I wish you the very best in your ongoing treatment.

Kind regards,

Neil Doverty

Group Executive Director
