Cardiac Day Unit. I attended the unit for an angiogram,arriving at 0730 as instructed and was greeted promptly and settled into my cubicle efficiently and pleasantly. The staff were friendly, polite, cheerful and reassuring (I was terrified at the prospect of an angiogram!) and went out of their way to help me (and all the other patients: I could hear their various discussions from the next door cubicles; there is little or no privacy...). My doctor arrived and talked me through the procedure very clearly and thoroughly and I signed the consent form. At 0945 I was taken into the theatre - given a sedative! - and had the angiogram in less than 15 minutes. It was totally painless and all my previous fears disappeared thanks to the kind and professional advice from the team. I was enormously impressed. Back to the day unit, to be greeted with a welcome breakfast, then monitored for a couple of hours by the very attentive staff, whom I cannot praise highly enough. This cardiac day unit is most impressive. Thank you very much.
