"He genuinely cares about his patients"

About: Gilbert Bain Hospital / Trauma & orthopaedics

(as the patient),

Mr Fergusson listened to me and helped me with my treatment. He made a difference.  He has been a breath of fresh air to Shetland. He genuinely cares about his patients and wants the best for them.  With him you are a human and not a number. He is very talented as a surgeon but is talented with people skills. He listens to you, explains and finds a solution.

He takes time to see you and understand your personal circumstances and thinks about what treatment will work for you as a patient -  whereas the previous consultant had put me in a boot and didn't explain, Mr Fergusson explained everything and I walked out the hospital unaided. 

He understood I was a single person with a dog and genuinely wanted the best for me. Whilst helping me recover from a fracture. He joins up the dots and asks questions and gets answers, something that has not happened before in Shetland

Dear Pathh73

Thank you for providing feedback about the care you received from Mr Fergusson following your injury, which has been shared with him. Our staff always appreciate hearing when things have gone well for patients, as well as when experiences have not been as good.

We hope your recovery is progressing well
