I had an appointment at the pre op centre at Crosshouse hospital for an upcoming operation. I met the Pharmacist and a nurse. There was no meeting with an anaesthetist or anyone from the Gynaecology department to discuss the operation or any concerns /questions I had with.
I've heard of many other people attending pre op appointments in NHS Ayrshire and Arran and have always had a member of the team of the department carrying out the operation and also anaesthetist but none there for me to speak to.
The department were running late and I was one of the last there, was this the reason why? Who knows. When you're anxious you don't want to cause "trouble" but actually I'm left more anxious about the unknown of the operation.
"No one to discuss my concerns with"
