I was on the morning list for day surgery. The letter sent out was extremely clear and simple about when I was to fast etc .
I arrived on the morning of my surgery to be greeted by a lovely receptionist . I was only sitting for about 5 minutes when my name was called . I was checked in quickly, all relevant people came to see me (nurses, anaesthetic nurse and surgeon).
I was in a room alone and was checked on often to keep me up to date with information and to make sure I was OK from nurse Rebecca and Shona. The staff couldn't have been anymore attentive.
It was my time to go to theatre and was walked down by a lovely nurse . I actually forgot a lot of people's names because I was apprehensive. I was in theatre room 7 and again every single person was friendly. The process was explained to me. I felt very relaxed .
Reception recovery staff were attentive. Nurse Abby took me back to day surgery to recover.
I feel that people are quick enough to complain about their time in hospital. Day surgery, reception recovery and theatre staff keep doing what you are doing . You are all amazing and never get a minute to sit down.
Thank you for making my time in hospital rum smoothly. Fingers crossed I get a clear result.
"You are all amazing"
