"Shortness of breath"

About: Northam Health Service / Emergency Department

(as the patient),

I have had a shortness of breath for some time and attempted to treat it with an it will get better attitude, this just didn't work and I ended up going to Northam Hospital which has an E.D section. Upon Arriving I was attended and triaged. 

After some tests and questioned by a doctor. I was taken to a bay and tested by some very capable and kind nursing staff. The result of this was that I had pnuemonia. During this stay I found the doctors and staff at this hospital to be a very efficient and capable staff. I wish to forward this as apreciation of a difficult job well done.

Thank you 'zulukb79' for taking the time to share your recent experience at the Emergency Department at Northam Hospital. It is always reassuring to know that patients are treated in keeping with the standards of care guidelines. I shall ensure that your kind words are shared with the staff in ED. I hope you are feeling much better following your treatment.

Regards,
