I go to Broome Hospital to have my intravenous drip canister refilled. I’ve been doing this for 5 weeks and I’ve got 1 more week to go and the nurses at Broome Hospital are terrific I’ve never met a bad nurse, they’ve bent over backwards for me and do such a wonderful job.
The only downside is there’s no transport service to get to Broome Hospital. Silverchain said they don’t have the resources to do it so I need to get there on my own but the thing is the antibiotics they put me on means I’m not able to drive, but I do because I have no other way. The antibiotic itself makes me very lethargic and tired, I asked for a service to get me to the hospital and they are unable to provide any transport. Its about a 15 min 20 min drive every morning.
I want to make clear that the staff provide great service and do an excellent job, but downside is I don’t have any available transport.
The last time the hospital was renovated was in 2008 and its population at this time of year for a small tourist town doubles with everyone coming up from Perth. I feel the population is overrun and on Saturdays and Sundays I have to go to the ED and they do the job there. The staff there do a wonderful job but the services for transport there is very inadequate especially if I’m not feeling well, I’m still forced to drive. I’ve tried with silver chain too but they don’t have resources.
