My partner had an allergic reaction while in Kelso and made his way to borders general where he was in anaphylactic shock. he was taken straight through and given amazing treatment, staff were great, kept him calm while they done all they could to help.
He was alone and in an unfamiliar area so was panicking, staff managed to treat him quickly, when I arrived 2 hrs later (from home) they took the time to explain what had happened and the treatment he has received, even the doctor took the time to come and speak to us and go through everything.
The nurses were amazing, so caring when moved to ward 5, the nurses done everything to keep him calm and comfortable. I had to go home and travel back in the morning he had been moved to ward 6 where again nurses were fantastic.
Absolutely amazed at how caring and helpful everyone was, especially being so overworked and busy, even the porter remembered me on the morning and asked how my partner was, can’t thank them all enough 🎄
"Amazing staff"
