I arrived in Broome in preparation for a two-week adventure tour in The Kimberley departing three days later.
The day before I was due to leave I attended Broome Hospital Emergency Department with a swollen left arm. Firstly, the concern shown by the Reception Triage nurse left me with a feeling I was in good hands, and this was confirmed when I met Dr. Joe. after various test I was diagnose with cellulitis and infection.
I was admitted to the hospital general ward being discharged two days later. As a result, my wife and I missed our tour departure and on advice from doctors, it would not be advisable to travel remotely following my issues we decided to cancel our tour and return home much to our disappointment.
Now the reason for my story is the staff of Broome Hospital. As a group I have not met so many committed caring, understanding and helpful health professionals. The care I received I consider was First Class form every member I receive attention from, I believe someone has these people motivated with caring and patience.
If I could mention a few names and if someone could pass my gratitude on to them:
In Emergency
Annabelle and Julie (best tea maker in Broome)
In the Ward
Nurses: Laura, Ashleigh, Valantini, Kate, Cassidy and Sharron. I may have forgotten a couple my apology to them.
Doctors
