"ED Night visit"

I attended KEMH Emergency in the early evening one weekday. I had not been able to keep fluids or food down for a number of days in this pregnancy and was feeling very unwell. 

I was seen by a triage nurse and kept in the waiting room for less than 10mins before being assessed and treated by both a doctor and nurse within another 10 mins.

The care provided was exceptional, caring, rapid and thorough. I felt seen, cared for and well managed. I was able to be discharged from the ED within a few hours, with information, a plan for my GP and for me for the next few weeks of the pregnancy.

Whilst I understand that I was unlikely the sickest patient in the ED that evening, I was not made to feel like I was a nuisance or less important. 

Thank you very much to the staff who cared for me.
