After all the bad hype of late with the NHS, I thought I’d share my experience this week.
After all last weekend suffering from loads of stabbing like pains in my head after two separate knocks to my head, on Monday I phoned my GP surgery, actually got through, within an hour a dr phoned me & made me a appointment to go the same morning. Advised me not to drive myself. At appointment dr checked me over, all seemed ok, but said I was slurring my words & by that alone sent me off to the hospital with a letter. She was concerned I might have had a bleed to the brain. Got checked over very thoroughly at hospital, but as a precaution to have a CT scan, which was booked for Wednesday, I was told to relax & rest at home. This morning (Friday) had to return for my results. Everything is good, just concussion.
At every step of the way, I can’t thank these individual nurses enough, I very nearly didn’t bother with my gp surgery, didn’t think I’d get through, or they would be too overstretched to see me, I wasn’t too long at all 3 appointments at hospital, so I applaud the NHS staff.
