My husband was taken to Geraldton Hospital ED in a state of collapse from heart failure. He was transferred immediately into the resus bay and a senior reg (Kassim) and clinical nurse (male) then commenced his care and management. At all times they conversed with me providing information and support. Informing my husband what was happening and why, numerous attempts were made to cannulate and provide him with life-saving fluids as he was seriously dehydrated.
I felt the management of emerging cardiac arrhythmia was well-managed. After 5 hours my husband was readied for transfer to SCGH using RFDS with a doctor on board. The staff were outstanding in the middle of what was a busy day. I had no option but to travel home leaving my husband in their care and I then received a call from Kassim telling me that my husband would be flown south to Charlies for management of his condition and providing me with an update as to his condition.
