"Care at Kerang Hospital"

About: Kerang Hospital

(as the patient),

After hernia surgery in Melb released in the late afternoon I travelled back to Kerang (with great difficulty and pain) from my brother in laws place I was admitted to the Kerang Hospital at midnight with excruciating lower stomach pain.

The nurses were already busy with another patient but still managed to tend to me. One nurse - Tessy- seemed to be going from one- to another calmly keeping control. All the girls I saw were doing their job but Tessy stood out. The other patient was sent off in the ambulance but after that a suspected stroke patient came in.

Tessy was going all night watching the two of us. She organised my treatment for what we think may have been some sort of reaction to surgury. A great effort *by all the nurses. I am 65 yrs old and in my experience nurses are worth a lot more than our politicians and seem to put up with more c**p. I believe that without them there's no hospitals. Thankyou Tessy.

Dear coinqj66,

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for our staff. I am really glad that our staff were able to provide the relief you needed. We are really proud of our expert team of nursing staff and visiting GPs who provide excellent care to patients. It can be very busy overnight, and our staff do an exceptional job.

We will ensure that the nurses on the night that you presented to the urgent care centre are given this lovely feedback with an extra special mention for Tessy.

I hope that you have recovered well from your surgery.

Warmest regards,

Kellie Byron-Gray
