I recently had a colonoscopy at NDDH, this was not the first time I had experienced this procedure but it was the first time I was fully awake. I was not looking forward to it when I heard I was going to be awake but I need not have worried.
I was looked after royally by the team led by Mr. Pearl. I had discomfort from my back which I had damaged slightly prior to going to NDDH but I was given time to move when asked and the actual procedure was painless and I was kept informed of all that was happening during my time in the Theatre.
The care I received both in and out of the Theatre was not unexpected as I have experienced this every time I have visited NDDH but it was still very much appreciated , you Guys are so under rated working on a Bank Holiday weekend.
Thank you all so much and you deserve so much more than the public standing outside clapping you (but I did) You are the ones who should be rewarded both monetary wise as accolade wise.
You will excuse me if I say thank you and I hope I never meet you again in those circumstances.
