I suffered an arterial blockage in my right leg. There were no previous signs or symptoms. I had no idea what happened or why, except that I could not feel my lower right leg.
The services I accessed were:
Flying Doctor and without them I would have not been able to be treated so quickly and the consequences would have been much worse.
Specialists in vascular department were essential to my treatment.
The way the doctors and nurses worked together in Fiona Stanley and Kalgoorlie was efficient and beneficial.
This also included physiotherapy and an exercise regime which helped me to become mobile and walk again.
PATS assisted with travel so that I could attend appointments,
And telehealth has saved me a lot of time and travel and enabled me to access specialist appointments
