In February 2023 I suffered a heart attack and was taken to Blackpool Victoria Hospital. I was immediately in the care of a cardiac team. I had various tests and an angiogram which showed I needed a triple bypass. Unfortunately this couldn't be done at that time due to a clot in my heart. I was taken to a ward and put under the care of Professor Bittar and his team and what a team they are. On first meeting Professor Bittar i knew I was in safe hands. I was listened to and talked through my condition and instantly put at ease although the clot remained a worry. I spent several months on medication to disperse the clot and had regular hospital appointments for scans etc. In May 2024 I had my operation which was done by Professor Bittar. He is a true professional with exceptional skills and I would have no hesitation whatsoever to recommend him. Before my operation I had my pre operation checkup I met Dr Watson who was to be the anaesthetist for my operation. He talked me through everything that was to happen, it was very reassuring, his care continued after the operation whilst I was in CITU as did Professor Bittars I must also mention Professor Bittars team, these people listen, they care, they treat and are highly skilled. Professor Bittar is a credit to Blackpool Victoria Hospital and the NHS. Everyone I came into contact with went that extra mile, not only that but they did it with compassion and were always ready to listen. I spent a few days in CITU and received round the clock care by the most dedicated people I have ever met. From there I had a couple of days on Ward 38 and again the care was exceptional. Thank you one and all for your care, you are all true professionals and should be very proud of what you do and achieve. I am certainly proud of each and every one of you. You have given me a new lease of life.
