Hospital sunset

A day full of surprises, GeordiePam’s phone call to her GP at 8am resulted in an immediate referral to the local hospital. This in turn resulted in a referral to a larger hospital in Chester. It’s been a long day but she has received excellent care (including hot drinks and sandwiches). Now we’re just waiting to see if there’s an improvement following treatment, otherwise it will be an overnight stay and more tests tomorrow.

Needless to say the staff at the SDEC unit have been brilliant. In case you’re wondering SDEC stands for Same Day Emergency Care and exists to help out A&E but is self contained with it’s own facilities to analyse tests etc. It’s not a walk-in centre you have to be referred by a doctor to gain entry.

My pic is of building work being carried out at this sprawling site which I spotted on a walk around the perimeter to stretch my legs.
