My brother on the Phoenix ward

Posted By romeoqb48

"My brother on the Phoenix ward"

About: Royal Cornwall Hospital (Treliske) / Phoenix Ward

(as a relative),

My brother was recently on the Phoenix ward at the Royal Cornwall hospital following a severe stroke. Sadly he passed away last Monday. I just wanted to say how impressed we were with the care he received from the whole medical team and of how grateful and appreciative we were to be updated on an ongoing basis.

The whole team were amazing, they battled to keep him alive but he was just too sick. In the end he chose to slip away surrounded by his beloved children. I will be forever grateful for the dignity he was treated with especially at the end and how the staff managed to facilitate such a peaceful departure for him from this world into the next. They are an extremely busy ward and they deserve every accolade for all their hard work and devotion to their patients.
