"Best hospital ever"

About: Whiston Hospital

I recently had a mastectomy and diep reconstruction done by two consultants. Plastics and breast cancer specialists. I've never had such kind , caring doctors before. They both spent time explaining all the options and listened to what i wanted and why. They never rushed me, even when it must have put them into their own time after hours. My surgery ended at 9pm on a friday and they both individually came in on Saturday morning to check on me on their day off. How amazing is that? Also, all the other doctors and staff on ward 3a were professional and caring .

I've seen so many doctors at so many hospitals this past year with having cancer, chemo and previous surgeries and all have been efficient and kind, but I cant put into words how this team felt different and more focused on me as an individual. They are worth their weight in gold. I could cry when I think of their kindness.

Thank you to the breast cancer team and plastic surgery team.
