"Superlatives all the way"

My Monifieth GP told me that she was referring me for a hysteroscopy as an MRI had shown a lesion on the wall of my uterus. Very shortly I received an appointment at Sonya's Clinic for Post Menopausal Bleeding at PRI. I did wonder about this as I have never experienced post menopausal bleeding. I attended and it became apparent that a mistake had been made and that I would not be able to undergo a hysteroscopy that day.

I could not have received a warmer welcome or greater efforts to sort this out. My husband was called in and made comfortable. Sonya and nurse Ellie were able to give me a vaginal ultrasound scan and were so professional and friendly that this was not a bit stressful. Sonya then was able to get Sarah and her nurses Yvonne and Kirsteen to fit a hysteroscopy in for me although they were fully booked. While we waited for this,  Denise gave my husband and me tea and biscuits. Jane too was so nice and friendly. I didn’t have a moment to feel anxious as their company was so relaxing.

The hysteroscopy wasn’t too bad as Sarah was obviously an expert. Wendy chatted to me throughout and made the whole experience less painful. Dr McNicoll popped in and he too was very pleasant and friendly. An experience which I had dreaded ended up with me saying I’ve fair enjoyed myself this afternoon.

What an asset this department is to Tayside. I cannot praise them all highly enough. Superlatives all the way. Thank you, Women’s Health team at Perth Royal Infirmary.
