What started with a faint at work led to one hospital, another and finally St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne. By this time Steve was very unwell on life support and after much planning underwent major cardiac surgery to correct a faulty valve. He made an excellent recovery and was home at day 13!

Kind words from Amanda (Steve’s wife):

“I have a 30+ yr history in ICU nursing & was overwhelmingly impressed by ALL of the team at St Vincent’s. The staff were genuinely good at their work, they were thoughtful of each other, compassionate to my family & our needs & caring to Steve. I felt he could not have received better care anywhere!

To the observer, it looked like a true team. Not as common as you might think & SO good to see.

I can’t speak highly enough of your amazing unit & the service you provided my family.

We will be forever grateful for your amazing work.”

All the best Steve and family!
