Alison’s story:

Two personal experiences in the last year of Whittington A&E:

1       Last January I had a severe asthma attack at night – just made it to the A&E where they whisked me through oon arival and put me on oxygen, then treated me.  I might well not have got as far as the Royal Free as I couldn’t breathe.  Cannot fault the treatment I received (PS must confess I had not thought of Camidoc, just wanted treatment!).

2       Our son, in great pain and bleeding from the penis went to A&E and although he had to wait, was seen by a urologist and appointments made for CT scan and further consultation with the urologist.  This at the height of pressure from last cold spell’s falls etc. A&E was crammed – if closed, would another A&E wherever be able to cope?  I think not.

Please use my name if it helps and thank you so much from both of us.
