Shoulder surgery

Posted By Was I really 65 🤣🤣🤣

"Shoulder surgery"

About: Woodend Hospital / Elective Orthopaedics

(as the patient),

From check in to check out…first class service.

DoSA was superb. Mr Cairns is a really friendly surgeon, very good at easing any worries pre surgery and I’m sure he did a great job (will confirm after painkillers subside)🥴

Anaesthetists were fantastic and dedicated. 

Ward 10 aftercare could not have been better. Very caring and good humoured. 

In at 07:15, out at 16:00 after a general anaesthetic and a rotor cuff tear repair along with sub acromial decompression.

Please pass on my heartfelt thanks to all concerned. You’re all doing a fantastic job. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
