On 27th November, I was taken by ambulance from my GP's surgery to the Coronary Care Unit at KGH. Dr. Heatherington and his team were waiting for me and in no time I was on the table having three stents placed in my left coronary artery. I believe my arteries were quite badly blocked so it took a couple of hours to position them. During the procedure my heart stopped and had to be shocked back into life. i had to spend some days on the ward as my blood pressure and pulse rate were very low due to heart block.
Throughout I was given great care and close monitoring by all the doctors, nurses and ancillary staff. After a few days my pulse and BP were back to normal.
A month later I returned for a stent to be inserted into my right coronary artery but this was just a one-day job but the same great care was received.
I now lead a normal active life and can walk or cycle without chest pain or breathlessness.
When there is so much complaining about the NHS I feel I need to express my sincere thanks and extreme gratitude to my GP. the ambulance crew and all at KGH Coronary Care Unit for literally saving my life
I got a better understanding of how my mind was working and help to reroute it to a fulfilling end.
My over all experience from seeing Mark is he has made me believe in myself again not to be a dormant and that I have choices that I can make and as a whole this has given me my life back as a normal human.
I had good one to one talks, although not long enough.
Kind friendly people.
Very interesting, informative.
Learning how to deal with situations in a different and more beneficial way.
Has made me think about things completely differently and in a positive way.
Both the councilors were very understanding and helped me to talk about all my problems.
Was quick and friendly.
