"On Father's Day I was doing a few chores around the house before heading to my son's place for a barbecue, however I was feeling really crook. I'd been having breathing problems for the last 12 months, but it had become more severe in the last six, so I decided to call the ambulance because I felt that something was not right. I went to the hospital in Hervey Bay for a few days before they told me I had to come down to The Prince Charles. I had already been diagnosed with Aortic Stenosis previously and we had to do something about it. I came via the Royal Flying Doctor Service and had lots of tests before having my procedure and have been recovering well. Whilst I've been very happy with my stay here and the staff are top notch; I don't want to end up back in hospital so going to take my recovery slowly and I'm looking forward to going home to my Jack Russel Zoe!"

Gabby is all smiles after a difficult road eventually led her to the birth of her baby Sully, born four months ago.
She had never heard of Gestational Trophoblast Disease (GTD), a rare group of conditions in pregnancy which can cause a molar pregnancy or GTN, which is where malignant moles and placental site trophoblastic tumors form instead of a healthy fetus.
In both cases, the baby is non-viable and the patient will need to see our Queensland Trophoblast Centre at RBWH for care and treatment, which in some instances, involves chemotherapy.
Gabby was a Queensland Trophoblast Centre patient twice in 2014 after experiencing GTD, before her happy and healthy baby Sully was born earlier this year.
"At the time I had never heard of such a thing, and what a weird name!" Gabby said, reflecting on her experience.
We are so happy for Gabby following the birth of little Sully. ❤️
Kui is all about making hard days a little better for patients and their families. 💙
As a Patient Support Officer in the Intensive Care Unit at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, Kui works alongside nurses and other clinicians to help patients move safely for care and treatment. He also works in the operating theatres, helping teams prepare for surgery.
Kui is Iman and Wulli Wulli on his mum’s side, with family connections to Erub and Daru Islands on his dad’s side. He grew up in Brisbane on Turrbal Country. Bringing compassion and his culture into the hospital matters to him.
“I want to be able to connect with Community and make the worst day of someone’s life a little bit better,” he said.
Kui is now in his second year of studying paramedic science at QUT. Working in critical care is helping him build experience for the future he wants, caring for people as a paramedic.
And when he’s away from work and study? He plays bass in a band with his brothers and loves old rock music. 🎸
#ShoutoutSaturday to Kui - he’s a rockstar indeed!
