Last December I had a cardiac rehab assessment appointment with Nurse Brown at Crosshouse Hospital, Ayrshire. As she went through my recent medical history, I stopped her to check that the notes she was reading from really were mine because she was giving me information I had not heard before and did not recognise.
I have had a number of procedures and follow-up appointments in the last few years and I cannot remember anyone explaining my situation more clearly or in as much detail.
It turned out that information I had been given previously was at best hurried and unclear, at worst completely inaccurate. As a consequence, I had to make significant changes to my lifestyle that proved to be unnecessary.
When I raised my concerns, Nurse Brown checked the information and explained as much as she could in a thorough, patient and reassuring manner. As a result, I was armed with the knowledge I needed to make further inquiries and get a more accurate picture of my situation.
