"This amazing team successfully repaired my broken heart"

About: Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France / Cardiology & Coronary Care Unit Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France / Day Surgery Unit

(as the patient),

I am eternally grateful and hugely thankful once again to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and especially the Medical Day Case Unit nursing staff and Doctors Northridge and Behan and their amazing cardiac and cath lab support staff. This amazing team successfully repaired my broken heart yesterday, by applying some amazing technology to repair an atrial septal defect (hole in my heart), using a catheter (keyhole surgery) to avoid my having to go through another open heart surgery. This whole team are absolutely wonderful, so helpful, supportive, friendly and skilled and I truly appreciate each and every one of them for all they do. Thank you so much!!! 💔➡️❤️👍😁

John sorry to hear about your atrial septal defect and I hope you are doing well.

Thank you for your amazing feedback for both the Medical and Nursing staff in both Medical Day Case and the Cath Lab I will pass this on to both teams.

Take care of yourself

Karen
