A and e visit

[Homely2]

I just had an absolute model a and e visit.

Had to ring 111, immediately answered, asthma below my safe limits and could not walk, talk properly etc. I was after a paramedic with a nebuliser, as my gp will not give me one.

Instead I got an ambulance within five minutes, they had been waiting for a call for two hours. They could not stabilise me with nebulisers, or sort it, so they took me straight in to a and e, which was very quiet, half empty.

Young registrar, inexperienced, but she listened to me, let me explain what I had wrong with me, and did what I asked re the solution. Took the plan to her boss, got it approved, and actioned it. She even organised my discharge, took the cannula out herself.

A brilliant visit, so thank you, a and e.

It's good to hear about a successful A&E trip. So sorry you needed to go though. Hope you're feeling alot better.

lovely to hear - I also have had good experiences of both prompt and empathetic GP service and excellent receptionist.

Glad to hear of your positive experience and hope you are on the mend. I too have had fantastic care starting with 111 call and prompt treatment for Covid asthma exacerbation. Cannot fault our Wonderful NHS! Feeling grateful

Glad to know that you had a good experience especialy the young registrar who acted upon your body telling you what you required. Wish more medics would listen to us. Hope that you are now feeling bettter and able to get about again.
