Obviously a little nervous, I found my way to the SEU. Unfortunately, once again the lack of signage was very evident.
The staff were very professional and attentive but I was not first on the list so quite a wait in the corridor until called through for preparation and tests. Again the staff were pleasant, professional and friendly. However, another fairly long wait (naked under a surgical gown and housecoat) followed sitting on a hot plastic chair. Where with shuffling around and the inevitable sweating with my man parts directly on that chair. Not too hygienic I would suggest 😂
The waiting process was uncomfortable and very insensitive and I would encourage more thought for the patients' comfort.
The surgery and post surgery care was exceptional and the staff again cannot be praised enough.
Overall I have been impressed by my care and and very thankful to those who attended me.
