I went to St Vincent's ED on day 6 of having COVID because I was not able to keep any food or fluids in. They triaged me quickly and took me straight into a short stay bed; I did not wait at all. Over the course of the day, they took my blood pressure, measured my pulse, gave me two bags of fluid and helped manage my nausea. As it was really close to Christmas and I was facing the prospect of a Christmas alone, the staff I saw also empathised with my situation and not being able to travel to see my family. They were kind and gentle in how they treated me. I appreciated how caring they were.
