"Amazing Care"

My daughter had been diagnosed with pericarditis a week before at another hospital ED in Perth.  Unfortunately, this was not a great experience.

She had a flare-up of the symptoms, but due to her prior bad experience, she was reluctant to seek medical help. However, her symptoms of central crushing chest pain were so frightening to her that she did seek medical help and went to another hospital, Royal Perth Hospital ED.

She was assessed, observations taken, and triaged as an urgent chest pain patient and followed a chest pain protocol. In my opinion, it was a perfect textbook assessment and management, timely access to diagnostics, and professional and empathetic care delivered by caring medical and nursing staff. Staff acknowledged her condition, validated her cardiac diagnosis, and referred her on for long-term care.

Truly amazing professional care, thank you so much, RPH. I was also able to be present to support my very frightened daughter who is a young adult, who never really believed she would experience chest pain at such a young age.
