I had attended accident and emergency department in Wishaw with gallbladder attack in the early hours. I was seen promptly as I was in severe pain and was met by two lovely nurses called Natalie and Michelle who triaged me and offered swift and appropriate pain relief. I was then seen by doctor called Alan and was cared for by nurses called Ashley and Nicky who were all excellent and did their utmost to ease my pain with appropriate pain relief and referral to surgical team . I was then admitted to surgical receiving ward where I remained and received my surgery to remove my gallbladder. I would like to thank each and every one of them. Being in a vulnerable state with pain and feeling embarrassed about it they put me at ease treated me with utmost respect . Being a health professional myself I understand the pressure the nhs is under but not once did this show in their work and worked fantastically as a team. I feel very strongly to highlight this excellent care and wish to say they are a credit to the nhs and the department should feel proud of the work they do.
"Fantastic care throughout"
