Just about 3 weeks ago I had to visit A&E at Warwick Hospital with acute shortness of breath. I was fortunate in that there were only 2 people waiting! Within 10 minutes I had been seen by the triage nurse, hadan ECG & blood tests an after another 15 minutes an X-Ray. Following conultations with doctors a CT scan was arranged by the Specialist Dr Garcia, this man and his team saved my life. It was found from the scan that I had a massive clot covering my heart and lungs with the upshot being that without treatment Imy heart would have failed probably within 24 hours and that would have beenthat. A procedure lasting 2 hours was arranged that dissolved the clot, thus saving my life and protecting me from further dangerous clots forming. I entered A&E at 5.25pm and by 11.30pm I was in the Coronary ward with the procedure all complete. I can't thank the Specialist & the hospital staff who looked after me for the following 4 days enough they really are special people. Since my discharge the excellant care has continued. With all my heart thank you Warwick Hospital I will never forget what you have done for me.
