My appointment went really well. All the staff are friendly and the procedure was well explained to me.
The advice given for after care was very clear and although I was very careful with the wound being in an awkward place on my face, I ended up with an infection. I contacted my general practice and the doctor rang me back within a few moments asking me to send a picture of my eye and then he prescribed me some antibiotics as he agreed that he thought it was infected .
Unfortunately, while cleaning the wound at the end of the my working day, the skin came away from my stitches, so I immediately went down to the medical practice who managed to get a nurse to look at my wound. The duty doctor has also looked at it took a picture which he then sent to Litchdon house for them to view . As agreed the duty doctor sent this picture to Litchdon house who then contacted me to arrange an appointment for me to see them the following day. I was extremely grateful that they could fit me in and look at my wound which they cleaned, removed the stitches and replaced with Steri-Strips. I had already been given antibiotics so this had started to work as well..
Overall, I have been very pleased with how I was dealt with at Ruby country, medical practice and Lichten house at Barnstable.
