About: Grantham & District Hospital / General surgery

RTHR at Grantham Hospital Unit 1. 

Incredibly nervous, and a long long wait to get to surgery stage after 2 cancellations.

Dear Bevelicious

I apologise you had a long wait for surgery – sometimes we cannot avoid strikes for example, but without the details I am not sure why you had 2 cancellations. but thankfully you have had this operation now and recovering well

Thank you for taking the time to post

Julie

I totally understand there’s only so much you can do with the heavy weight of restrictions upon our poor little NHS, out of your control I know. I had to fight a long time to get the first of two big ops, and travel quite far from home to Grantham for my operation, but all the staff made it worth the journey! Such gratitude to them all.
