We travelled down from Surrey to Goonhaven for a long overdue break. Unfortunately I began feeling unwell shortly after arriving, shoulder pain and chest pain.
I was taken and admitted to the accident and emergency department at the Royal Cornwall. Once admitted I was seen by the on duty staff who were caring and efficient. Sadly due to my condition the names escape me. There was a young gent from the St Johns Ambulance who was so attentive deserves individual recognition.
Later i was transferred to the Acute medical ward where i spent the next several days. There were many staff who attended to me but two stand out. I believe Georgia and Louise they were so sympathetic to my predicament and nothing was too much trouble.
I told them my one regret was I didn't even get a Cornish Pasty and without hesitation they offered to get me one and bring it in on their next shift (excellent).
As soon as a bed became available in the Cardiac ward i was transferred. Once again the staff could not be more attentive and caring. I had to undergo an Angioplasty with stents being applied. The whole team were so professional and understanding.
I am not sure where to start thanking all these people but no one should ever criticise the NHS or anyone who works on the wards or in support. Thank-you from the bottom of my repaired heart.
