Reaction to a bee sting to the ear

"Reaction to a bee sting to the ear"

About: Kerang Hospital / Allied Health Kerang Hospital / Urgent Care Centre

(as the patient),

I presented to Kerang and district Hospital Victoria with an inflamed ear lobe and swelling to the surrounding area caused by a bee sting. I found the staff that attended to me were very efficient in their actions to stop the swelling, I felt they very quickly engaged (My Emergency Doctor) and she consulted with the staff and suggested a course of action to stop my condition from getting worse. I recall after about 4 hours I was allowed to go home in a much better condition, congratulations to the R/N's that attended to me.

Dear Correspondencesk35,

Thank you for the wonderful feedback.

Kerang District Health are very fortunate to have very skilled and experienced nursing staff, with the support from Telehealth services such as My Emergency Doctor.

I am pleased that your condition improved and you were able to go home after the observation period.

Kind Regards,

Megan Simmonds
