Recently attended Cannock Chase Hospital for an elective knee replacement. Speedily processed through to Hilton Main & prepared for the operation that day. All the staff then and later during my recovery were kind & caring. All went well with the surgery and I was x-rayed prior to discharge 2days later.
Sadly, it was decided that I'd need a 2nd operation and had stay in hospital for a suitable theatre slot the following week. Physio was started immediately. So by the time my 2nd op came round I knew what to do. Ward staff & physios were always professional but kind and concerned, not just about my physical well being, but also my mental/emtional well being.
I became quite distressed due to lack of sleep through noise on the ward bay during the night. I was offered a bed on an empty bay which I accepted with thanks. Pain relief was generous & available day or night.
It was obvious that staff took their moto call don't fall seriously as I never had to wait long for an escorts to & from the loo etc. Catering staff went the other mile to make sure they provided meals that were palatable & met my preferences. From cleaners to consultants everyone did their best to ensure I received a 5 star experience. Well done.
"A 5 star experience"
