I’ve come across Dr Kennedy a couple of times in the Emergency Surgical Unit (EmSU) of Antrim Area Hospital. I think he is an excellent doctor, it’s obvious that he really cares about his patients. Jack is very approachable with a lovely way about him. He patiently answered the long list of queries I had about my complicated case on two occasions for me. Please never lose that wonderful, rare trait because it really makes a patient feel cared for and have a much more positive experience during a difficult period of their lives. I have no medical background but it is clear that he is also very knowledgeable in his field. Antrim Area Hospital are very lucky to have him, thank you for helping me and being a wonderful doctor!!!
FYI – my very bruised right arm from IV cannula damage turned into superficial thrombophlebitis as the vein on that wrist popped up 3 weeks post-Op. GP sent me to A&E where a blood clot was ruled out but I was told the vein needed treatment or I would get a blood clot. In the printouts the A&E doctor gave me on the condition it listed high temperature/fever as a symptom of the condition so perhaps that was the source of my infection 2 weeks post-Op! Hopefully you’ll not get another patient as unlucky as me but just in case it helps someone else, thought I’d mention it!
"Wonderful doctor"
