Many years ago, I spent several months in a coma due to necrotising pancreatitis. It was a close run thing and dialysis was a major part of my treatment and recovery. My veins were totally shot and my blood was "like super glue". On one occasion, I had blocked up multiple machines and was in grave danger. It was a weekend, and Dr Martlet was enjoying a night at the Liverpool Philharmonic with family. A call was made and she dropped everything and came to my bedside. She found and accessed a vein (in my ankle, apparently) and I survived the night. Several months later, I attended herbclinic as an outpatient. She was visibly moved to see me on my feet and still breathing! It was emotional for us both. But I will never forget her care, warmth and humility. Thank you Vanessa, for everything!

Dr Martlew is brilliant! I see her due to recurrent thrombosis, and as the clinical lead for anticoagulation and I am fortunate to be cared for by her and the rest of the team. She is dedicated, extremely knowledgeable and experienced but down to earth, easy to talk to, and caring.

I have been seeing this consultant for twenty years with a condition called ITP, (low platelets), and consider myself to be very lucky to have such a caring and knowledgeable doctor. She has gone out of her way to ensure that my treatment is the best possible. At times of emergency she has been always there overseeing the hospital staff usually in her own time to ensure her highest standards.
