Default Joondalup Health Campus

I have just got in from the hospital where Jake has been in surgery today..............and have to commend all the staff at the Campus.
He was treated with complete care and compassion throughout his treatment. not once made to feel, that anything was too much.
This afternoon , as he was begiining to come around, he was monitored constantly, and spoke to so nicely!!
At one point in the afternoon his face turned a sallow grey colour and hi became quite 'clammy'
Within seconds the nurse had 'upped; his drip, checked his breathing and blood pressure and did all she could to reassure me he was going to be ok!!
I am aware that this is what they are paid for, but it was so comforting to know he was in safe hands!!!
Good on ya Joondalup Health Campus!!!

Hope your boy makes a swift and full recovery.

I thought the staff at Joondalup were great. However when the doctor wrote the prescription for my daughter for various meds I looked at it, thought the doses looked way out, queried it and was right!

Thanks for that Renth............will double check the dosage!!
Getting medication into this boy is a nightmare!!!
He reckons the ody has a way of healing itself!!! Evn when he has a pounding headache he refuses to take even a panadol!!!

It's good to see Joondalup Health Campus get a good rap; they copped a bit of flak in the media and on TV a couple of years ago.

I had a season ticket up there and had 8 operations during 10 admissions ........... couldn't fault them at any time. From the cleaning lady upwards everyone did a sterling job.

We were moved too by the compassion and dignity they showed us when we lost a close relative there a year ago .............. they were absolutely brilliant and went out of their way to ease the burden of our grief.

That all sounds right except with the Panadeine Forte you dont mean adding another 30mg of codeine do you Panadeine Forte already has 30mg codiene added.
