"Local infusions"

About: Bright Hospital

(as the patient),

I suffer from ulcerative colitis and have for a number of years. After fighting to get medication changed I am now having infusions every 8 weeks. 

Now that I can have them in my local hospital with my regular GP I feel much more comfortable and don't have to take a full day off work (to visit another town and pay out of pocket in a private system because the wait times in the public is much too long, and I was too sick to wait. 

I just wish people like me didn't have to plead with a system to get the care in a small town.

Dear pluscp38,

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience with Bright Hospital.

We take a lot of pride in caring for our community and try to help accommodate wherever possible. We understand the distance to larger regional healthcare facilities can be a burden, so I am really glad we were able to help in this occasion.

Kind regards,

Erin Graves
