Kudos to PoSGH for the caring

My mom Marjorie Popplewell was assessed by Dr Donna Rampersad when we arrived and was rushed into the A&E for immediate attention.

The seriousness of her condition was explained to me in detail by two doctors, one of whom was Dr Ali who took the time to explain what treatment he was recommending and why. My mom was subsequently warded in the High Dependency Unit over the period February 4 and 5 and received round-theclock care and attention.

Dr Grant, the house doctor on duty, further patiently explained about my mother’s worsening condition as did Dr Rampersad.

As my mother’s heart stopped beating, doctors rushed over from the Intensive Care Unit to conduct CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), but to no avail.

Both the doctors and nurses on the ward were compassionate in their delivery of the dire news, taking the family into a private room and exhibiting a level of empathy that is reminiscent of the Public Service of old.

Despite the eventual outcome I can truly say that the doctors at POSGH did their best for my mother and my family says a heartfelt thanks for their efforts.

Keep up the good work.
