"Bi-lateral Hernia Operation"

I was recently admitted to Grantham hospital to have a bilateral inguinal hernia repair. Whilst nervous about the procedure, the staff at Grantham quickly allayed my fears and their professional and caring approach quickly settled my nerves.

Without exception, the medical staff and their support workers were exceptional.  Nothing was too much trouble and they kept me informed throughout my time in hospital. 

The only exception to this perhaps would be the Padre that visited the recovery ward.  Whilst they had the best intentions I'm sure, they spent an inordinate time in the middle of the ward talking loudly with an auxiliary support worker, whilst everyone in the ward was trying to rest following their operations.  Ultimately they left without speaking to any patients.
