"Rehabilitation care from wonderful physiotherapists"

About: Northam Health Service / Sub-Acute Services

(as the patient),

I have an ongoing lung disease which, in January this year became worse, I have a "rescue pack" at home consisting of Prednisone and an antibiotic, which I administered to myself. This didn't ease my condition, so I called an ambulance.

I was flown to a metropolitan hospital, where they found that I had had a 'small' heart attack and that I was having tachicardic and arhythmia episodes. I was given the appropriate medication, as well as nitrolingual spray for attacks of angina.

Later in February I was transferred to Northam Regional Hospital where they have, in my opinion, an excellent rehabilitation centre. I have just spent 3 weeks at this facility and am now going home. I cannot praise the staff at Northam enough. I believe they are angels.

In my experience, the physiotherapists are professional, friendly and thorough, They have rehabilitated me from being almost non ambulatory, gasping for oxygen to being able to go home and look after myself, with a little help. Something I thought would never happen. Accolades to the wonderful physiotherapists at Northam, I believe you are miracle workers xxxxxxxx

Dear matarnh65

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent experience at Northam Hospital, Rehabilitation Service and for sharing your patient journey story with us.

Its was very satisfying to read how multiple health services became involved in your care and treatment resulting in you returning home.

The physiotherapists along with the rest of the team have been doing a wonderful job and we are proud of their efforts.

I will have great pleasure in passing your uplifting words to the team.

Best wishes

Trenton
