"They really listen to your pain"

About: General Surgery / Surgical Unit

(as the patient),

I went for a day surgery to Stracathro Hospital to remove the metal plates and screws in my left ankle. 

Unfortunately, I was in a lot of pain when I came out of surgery and could not put any weight on my ankle. As a result, the nurses decided it would be best for me to stay overnight and I cannot thank them enough for making the right decision.

It was a very difficult night but all the staff at Stracathro are amazing. They really listen to your pain, needs and also have a great sense of humour.

They really do want the best for you! I have never came out of hospital thinking I would want to come back but if I ever need to I would like to come back there, best hospital experience ever.
