"Fell out walking my dogs"

About: Crosshouse Hospital / Trauma & orthopaedics

(as a service user),

Broke my hip, after surgery I was placed in ward 2B. Obviously I was traumatised and sore. I had only once before been in hospital and that was with a broken jaw. To say I was apprehensive is an understatement.   

That all changed the minute I met the staff in 2B. Each one nicer than the other. 

Sheena (doctor) was outstanding at explaining what was happening or going to happen and putting your mind at rest. 

Sarah (nurse) excellent, nothing too much trouble and always with a smile. 

Caroline, she liked everything neat and tidy in the ward but always with a joke and smile. She even brought us shampoo caps and washed our hair for us.

There were so many of them and not one could I say a bad word about. 

These are the people who are a credit to the health service.
