Back in December 2016 I was a patient on Ecmo. Now 5 years on, I am ‘forever’ grateful to all the Doctors and Nurses who looked after me. I feel so ‘privileged’ to think I was placed on Ecmo in an attempt to save my life. It has been a long road to recovery, learning to walk again and breathe without an oxygen tank. I remember, at my lowest point, I wanted them to switch the machine off…. Because I couldn’t mentally, physically ‘take it anymore’. Everyday today I am humbled and so grateful that I was ‘given a second chance’ at life. Aside from COVID, Omicron, I am now dancing Argentine Tango … with a ‘fresh set of eyes’ and emotions…. I am so grateful for life and the amazing ‘team’ that got me back to enjoying life, like I have never known before. Thank You from the bottom of my heart. I recognise some of the doctors in the “Brompton” film clips….. and some special nurses who went ‘above and ‘beyond’ the call of duty. I still have the diary today that the nurses kept for me, recording my day to day progress. Thank You, Thank You. Thank You.
This has just saved my wife's life. Thanks for everything you did at the Brompton!
