A cracked tooth needed removing, being needle phobic and heart condition I was referred to North Devon District Hospital and had an initial consultation where the staff did their utmost to reassure me and I agreed to have needle anaesthesia or at least aim for it.
A couple of months later said appointment came through and I nervously sat in the chair, everything was explained with time allowed for processing and in a calm manner, music chosen and procedure began on one extremely anxious person, needle phobia is horrible and has been for my adult life but with kindness and patience Alex the clinician and Frankie and Sammy nursing staff dealt with the task and the patient brilliantly making an ordeal much more manageable.
Thank you to you all.
