"It was smooth sailing"

About: Worcestershire Integrated Sexual Health Vasectomy Service

(as a service user),

From arriving at worcester hospital clinic, being called into a private room where you get changed. The nurse ran through the procedure again, answered any questions I had. I signed the disclaimer form and was then taken through the the operation. 

Both nurses and surgeon were fantastic, they were professional and also very chatty which put me at ease immediately, the procedure was fast and the ladies were very tentative checking up and again talking away.

After the operation, I went back into the waiting room.. got dressed followed some more basic instructions then was sent on my way. 

It was smooth sailing and the staff made a daunting procedure feel like walk in the park so thank you ladies. 

Now to go deal with a broken down car with sore nads. 🙃 (i won't be fixing I'll be resting).

This is so good to read. I'll make sure your comments are shared with the team.

It will help reassure anyone who is about to embark on the same procedure. As you say "smooth sailing", which is exactly what we plan for.

Now rest! Don't even think about straining or fixing that car!

Thank you.
