Today I attended my pre operation assessment at the cardiology dept, I was seen my a nurse called Nicola, she explained everything in clear detail, showed me examples on the computer and also drew examples of heart/valves etc and explained the whole procedure, pre op advice and after op advice and I was so very grateful, I have seen 3 consultants so far and this nurse told me more about my condition, and how it would affect me in the short and long term, in one meeting than anybody has told me in the previous 6 months of meetings combined.
I left the appointment with a clear idea of my illness, how it will be treated etc and her patient care is amazing, some people say nurses are angels, well it certainly describes this nurse, I cannot find the words to praise her enough.
Thank you Nicola, she was a nurse in the cardiology dept at Hairmyres and is a few months pregnant incase there is more than one Nicola as I didn't catch her surname. Please pass on my thanks.
What could be improved? You can't improve on perfection!
"Amazing patient care!"
