My
name
is
Minal
and
I
was
hospitalised
at
UCLH
from
21st
October
2023
until
28th
October
2023
with
a
nasty
infection.
I
was
put
on
sepsis
protocol
and
I
was
eventually
diagnosed
with
abscesses.
The
care
and
treatment
I
received
from
the
time
I
arrived
at
A&E
until
I
was
discharged
was
exceptional.
I
was
in
such
a
bad
state
that
I
cannot
remember
all
the
names
of
the
staff
who
looked
after
me,
but
I
have
to
mention
the
nurse
in
A&E
majors,
Davinia
Sabater
Guijarro,
as
she
took
care
of
me
with
a
lot
of
kindness
and
compassion.
She
was
brilliant!
Eventually,
I
was
admitted
to
medical
ward
only
briefly
and
then
gynaecology
ward.
Nurse
Reena
from
the
medical
ward
was
very
kind,
although
I
was
only
there
for
a
very
short
time.
Some
of
the
nurses
on
gynaecology
ward
who
looked
after
me
were
Nurse
Erlou,
Nurse
Sidikat,
Nurse
Jordine,
Nurse
Kawser,
Nurse
Olu,
Nurse
Nishma,
Nurse
Bushirah,
Nurse
Antonio,
HCA
Maureen,
Ward
physio
Bethany
and
many
other
nurses
and
healthcare
assistants
to
whom
I
am
very
grateful
to
for
the
care
and
support
they
gave
me
whilst
I
was
on
that
ward.
The
Gynaecology
team
led
by
Dr
Naaila
Aslam
were
fantastic
and
I
feel
that
I
am
here
and
alive
today
because
of
them.
My
local
hospital
had
sent
me
away
with
Trimethoprim
and
a
wrong
diagnosis
just
the
previous
day.
Had
I
not
gone
to
UCLH
that
Saturday
evening,
I
wouldn't
have
made
it,
as
my
CRP
was
400
and
I
was
septic.
Thank
you
to
Dr
Aslam
and
her
team
including
Dr
De
Braud,
Dr
Tatiana,
Dr
Neha,
Dr
Julie,
Dr
Omar,
Dr
Hannah,
Dr
Alison
and
everyone
in
that
team.
They
saved
my
life!
When
I
had
my
procedure
to
drain
the
abscess,
the
nurses
were
so
supportive
including
nurse
Kit
and
nurse
Emma.
There
were
other
nurses
in
that
room
too,
but
I
don't
recall
all
the
names.
All
were
wonderful.
I
would
not
have
got
through
that
procedure
without
their
words
of
support
and
encouragement,
in
particular
Nurse
Kit
and
Nurse
Emma.
I
hope
the
above
mentioned
staff
and
anyone
who
looked
after
me
reads
this
review.
I
am
forever
grateful
to
them.
UPDATE
(5th
December
2023):
I
spent
a
further
two
nights
at
UCH
when
the
infection
returned.
Lots
of
wonderful
nurses
and
healthcare
assistants
in
A&E
majors
and
same
day
emergency
care
(thank
you
Dr
Maria
Marouli
and
Nurse
Jennifer).
Another
positive
experience
on
gynae
ward.
Nurses
Warda,
Queen,
Alena
and
Clare
were
all
very
kind,
attentive
and
extremely
competent.
