"My experience and treatment at Bunbury Hospital"

I was taken in while visiting my adult child and family. My back started to ache, then my ribs did the same. I found it hard to draw breath and began to feel like my chest was being constricted in a clamp. Fearing a heart attack, I went to Bunbury Emergency and was received and registered, just using my overseas passport, with great efficiency. Triage attended to me very professionally and I was quickly admitted to an emergency ward.

I was kept advised about what their sundry investigations revealed about my condition. It was decided that I should be admitted to the medical ward immediately.

My experience in the hospital was very positive, all the staff members, with whom I had contact, were lovely, helpful and maintained a cheerful atmosphere. The consultant and his team were charming, reassuring, supportive and informative. I was subjected to every conceivable scan, X-ray, blood test that I can imagine and even ultrasound. The care and attention that I received was exemplary and I cannot imagine that there is anywhere in the world where I might have received better treatment in my opinion.

I was diagnosed as having Aortitis and subsequently Sarcoidosis is suspected, shown the reports, photos and results of all the tests, that were available and my consultant explained, in terms that I could understand, what they all meant. My fears and apprehension were all expelled by the confidence that he and his team inspired. I was advised that the full scans, pictures and tests reports will be forwarded to my overseas general practitioner to support my continuing treatment and that I will receive a copy of my case study, which Professor Adel intends to submit to The British Medical Journal. However, I do understand that there can be some delay before these final documents reach my clinic overseas.

Thank you Bunbury for all you have done for me, I love you all❤️.
