My mum had emergency surgery and was in HDU for a week and then moved to female surgical.
Over the past year she was in and out for weeks at the time so I got to know staff very well. They were amazing. My mum has alzheimer's and is profoundly deaf. The care she received was above and beyond. They cared for her personally and with such love. They mean so much that a year later I still be praying for those staff members, from surgeons, nurses and support staff. I cam tell you them all by name. When I tell people that the staff know mum they laugh at me. But one of the surgeons who did mums drain 6 months later when she was admitted said he knew mum, this was such a comfort as we stood for the 2nd time in HDU, mum had septicaemia and they need to do the drain again.
