My mum was admitted to room 7, Ward 73 due to her multiple health conditions. Unfortunately, her condition rapidly deteriorated and she passed away in the Lotus room in the early hours of 13 February 2023. She was surrounded by immediate family and her husband of more than 64 years.
I'd like to thank the nurses for their care during my mum's final days in SCGH. We have a large family and at times there were more than the usual permitted number of family members in the Lotus room - I thank the nursing staff for exercising discretion and compassion by allowing flexibility so that family could spend previous time with mum.
I'd like to also acknowledge the care and patience of the doctors that spent time with the family to answer any and all questions. We had a top palliative care consultant also meet with the family (I forget his name now) - he was very compassionate and understanding when speaking with the family.
Our family is now grieving and mum's funeral service was only recent (8/3/23). I am still coming to terms with mum's passing, however cannot thank the staff enough for their care and compassion - under what were trying times for our family (and no doubt the staff as well).
"My mum's final days on Ward 73."
