Unfortunately I suffer from an awful phobia of anything medical and hospitals, I shake and can't catch my breath which causes severe anxiety and pure panic even entering the building . On visiting, doctors tests were arranged, endoscopy (which I couldn’t do unfortunately), but my care throughout was fabulous. The CT scan, my phobia gave me days of panic even before the day of the scan, and the mere thought of a cannula freaked me out as needles are a no for me.
This story is for the person who did my scan who took so much time to help me through a procedure that I couldn’t see myself doing, I wish I got his name, what a kind and gentle man he was. My husband got all trussed up and was allowed to stay with me the whole procedure. I was in a state tbh and my husband said I couldn’t stop thanking him and just held his hands saying thankyou. Sorry if this seems drawn out but I can't thank him enough for how he went far beyond with his kindness, what a special man he is, he genuinely cared about my phobia and I had it done with all his help and patience, thank you so much.
