I was in intensive care from a cardiac arrest at the age of 19. The nurses and doctors were amazing to me. I had many blood complications but they looked after me so well. I was in there for 3 weeks and even the nurses who never looked after me, knew of me and spoke to me when they would walk by. I made a real connection and bond with the nurses because they made me feel safe when I was all alone. I have never been cared for by such amazing people before and I can’t thank them enough for everything they did for me. Even radiology and haematology and the many departments I went to. Everyone was Amazing in making sure I lived and they did everything they could. They never gave up on me. As horrible as the situation was, they made being alone bearable because I knew I could trust and I was safe with the individuals looking after me. I was able to talk to them, have a laugh and try to get through a tough situation. They all supported me even the ones who didn’t look after me, they all supported me because of the tough situation I was in and I knew I could count of any one of them. I can’t explain how grateful and appreciative I am of them on intensive care. I really can’t because there isn’t enough words to explain the love, the care and the determination the nurses and doctors have for their patients. I am lucky to be home today very lucky and I owe it all of them. Thank you so much. Lauren
