Cauda equina journey

"Cauda equina journey"

About: Neurology / Ward 23B - Surgical Neurology

(as a service user),

Last month I was rushed in for an emergency operation on my back for Cauda equina syndrome.

I was so scared of what was happening after my MRI scan I was then taken to the wrong ward, for the porter to be screamed at that I should not have been there -  the member of staff was so angry and scary looking.

I was then took to ward 23b to be welcomed from a set of angels nursers. They were honestly so caring and loving I want to thank everyone of them they made me feel at ease. Thanks to everyone in ward 23b who helped me during my hard time.

Coming into hospital can be very scary, If you wish to discuss any issues encountered during your journey please feel free to get in touch.
