"The surgeon that operated on my 4 year olds hand…"

About: Alder Hey Hospital

The surgeon that operated on my 4 year olds hand yesterday was amazing. They made him smile and feel comfortable, even drew a cow on my child’s arm which they loved. (My child wanted a cow it’s what he asked for) I was so relieved when I met the surgeon and they spoke to my child like you’d speak to a child. Unfortunately the other doctors we came in contact with were poor, spoke to a 4 year old like they were an adult and came across like they couldn’t be bothered. Made no real effort to get down to a child’s level or speak nicely. So you can imagine how relieved I was to have a really nice friendly surgeon that my child liked also.
