"Heart attack experience"

About: Scottish Ambulance Service / Emergency Ambulance University Hospital Hairmyres / Coronary Care Unit

(as the patient),

I had a third heart attack 2 days ago, and an ambulance quickly arrived. 

I was taken to Hairmyres where I was promptly attended to. Then taken up to the CCU. My images below reflect better than words..

Dear RayFaeTroon

Thank you for sharing your story. It must have been a very worrying time for you so it is nice to see that you are satisfied with the care that you received.

If you would like me to pass on your thanks to the ambulance crew may I ask that you contact our Patient Experience Team at sas.feedback@nhs.scot with your name, Care Opinion name and the address and date we attended.

I do hope you are recovering well.

Kindest regards

David

Update posted by RayFaeTroon (the patient)

I would but I am very confused as I thought this was for all the NHS.

Would you please be so kind as to forward on?

Dear RayFaeTroon

This is for all the NHS but I am unable to identify the crew to pass on your thanks without this information.

Kindest regards
