Early morning out in country Victoria, after enjoying a cuppa, my husband suffered chest pain. We knew what to expect, having suffered a heartattack back in July.
I called 000, and paramedics were summoned but meanwhile, the tele voice guided me to medicinal help. She was cool and calm and very helpful.
The local paramedics arrived from Dunkeld and they were wonderful! We could not fault their care, kindness, professionalism and attention to all details. A trip to Hamilton ED with further testing and monitoring, resulted in another journey by Ambulance to Geelong, with extremely caring nurses.
Barwon Health took control and with all the professionalism available, the patient was given full attention and procedures were carried out efficiently.
The patient was home within 2 days.
We are eternally grateful to have these wonderful services available to us in the country. At all times, the care was supreme. The timing was efficient and at all times, we felt in very safe hands.
Thankyou Dunkeld paramedics, Hamilton Hospital ED and Barwon Health, for making an unpleasant situation, not too daunting, and for giving the patients heart a re boot.
