"Hospital Admission"

I had been admitted into A&E resus and then into 4F (Medical High Dependency Unit). 

This admission was very different for me compared to previous admissions. Staff were very nice towards me and very understanding. They tried to accommodate my needs and help make this admission easier. I was in distress many times throughout this admission and the staff were amazing. I was never belittled or made to feel like a waste of their time despite how busy they were. 

My named nurses for the days I was there, Sarah, Melanie, Leanne and Nicola were all very kind and gave me the time to talk when I needed it whilst managing the medical care I required. Other staff were all very kind too although I cannot remember all of their names. Paula was also really good whilst I was there, she tried to get me extra support for discharge and made me feel that I did matter in this situation. I was also helped with my hair by a nursing assistant Claire which made me feel a lot better. It really shows that the little things can mean a whole lot more to people than the big things. 

I cannot thank the staff at A&E and 4F enough for the kindness they showed me during a very difficult time. I will be forever grateful to the staff who cared for me.
