I had to attend the POW Hospital Randwick today for all thw wrong reasons. A friend told me that she was not well via text msg. I called her and on hearing what was wrong I rushed to her place. She was having a stroke. Being a retired registered nurse I knew the urgency required hete. An ambulance came from St George Hospital Kogarah (2 minutes away luckily). Straight A&E. Assessed and transferred immediatley to POW for emergency procedure. It was like being in a movie. From the moment we arrived at the ambulance bay it was a truly a quick professional process with beautiful people who showed exemplorary care , dedication and professionalism. Excellent people skills empathy, compassion and great communication. Remember I wasn't the patient here but a support/friend. My friend could not possibly have better care in any other hospital in Australia than she did today at the POW Randwick. A huge big thankyou and congratulations to everyone for outstanding service throughout a difficult time
