"The staff have been absolutely incredible"

About: Perth Royal Infirmary / Trauma & orthopaedics

(as the patient),

I think with every kind of surgery, no matter how big or small, people are always nervous about actually having it and, well in my case, the long and difficult recovery process. 

The staff at Perth, all of them in fact, have been absolutely incredible.  Everyone speaks, they are so friendly and very very much keep you going.  I am meaning every single person, whatever their job title was.  Yes everyone was very professional, but not only that, their banter with each other and the patients including myself was brilliant. 

Despite being in a lot of pain, I was laughing and joking with the staff.  The actual camaraderie the staff have with each other is brilliant and it makes your stay in hospital so much better. 

I cannot put this response in without mentioning that the food was also excellent.  There is usually a verbal stigma about hospital food, well the food at PRI has been excellent.

Could I even say I actually enjoyed my stay in hospital - well actually I did, and it took me away from my husbands snoring for a few days πŸ˜„.  Top marks to everyone at PRI - thank you all πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™
