About: Hairmyers Day surgery

(as the patient),

Attended to Hairmyres hospital for my surgery. On attendance I was met with very friendly staff members of the day surgery. Everything was explained to me in depth and I was made to feel very relaxed. The staff nurses within the day surgery department acted professional throughout the day and I felt that I was able to trust them fully.

After surgery, I was brought back to the ward where I was met with the nurses again. I was feeling very nauseous at this moment in time however, the nurses acted properly to make sure that I was made comfortable. They continuously approached me to provide regular checkups and to make sure I was still comfortable post surgery. Again, all nurses dealt with were very professional and very understanding of my situation that I am very thankful for.

Sadly, I am unable to remember the names of the staff. However, I am very thankful for everything they have done to help me out.

Thank you.
