"Excellent patient care"

Like many in our eighties, we were unaware the long-term effects of 'baking, in the sun' had when we were in our 20s and 30s.  Now, we reap the consequences, in my case through a succession of BCCs (Basal Cell Carninomas).   Treatment, invariably, has been first class at Stirling Community Hospital. 

Yesterday was no exception.  David and Vicki excised a BCC in the centre of my back.  Firstly, David explained the procedure in clear and precise terms.  Vicki made sure that I was positioned correctly and comfortably on the bed.  A local anaesthetic was applied.  David carried out the surgery while Vicki both assisted and engaged me in conversation.  They worked well as a team.  Within 30 minutes, job done and this patient left the Unit reflecting on the professionalism of the staff and their excellent patient care,  Thank you Dermatology!
