"Orthopaedic Surgery"

I injured my knee quite seriously last August 2023. I’ve had 2 mri scans one last year which showed I’d got tears in my meniscus, acl,mcl and bone marrow edema. I was under Mr O who was very thorough in explaining every injury that I’d done. After the 2nd mri in April this year, that showed that everything had cleared up apart from the meniscus and acl tears which had worsened. Thus I needed to have surgery.

I had my surgery yesterday and the treatment from arriving at hospital at 07.15 the service was second to none. I went down for surgery at 08.40 having had visits prior to going to theatre from the nurse, Mr O, his registrar and the anaesthetist explaining everything that was going to happen. Everything went well and I was back home for 14.00.

A special mention to Mr O’s secretary who in my eyes went above and beyond in her job. Keeping me updated on a regular basis and answered any questions that I had very clearly. She really is a credit to the hospital.

The nurses on Orthopaedic’s were all very professional and friendly and coped well even when they were extremely busy and dealing with the odd obnoxious patient.

I live in Lincoln, but if ever I required hospital treatment again, especially if it meant needing day surgery again, I would make The Princess of Wales Hospital my first choice.

Thanks again.
