A wonderful team

"A wonderful team"

About: Western Isles Hospital / General Surgery

(as the patient),

I was made very welcome and attended to as soon as I entered the day surgery ward. The nurses, anaesthetist  and consultant surgeons were brilliant, explaining everything they were doing for me and what would happen next.

I must say that I don't remember much about going to theatre, or sleeping for hours afterwards. However I do remember being woken up gently by the nurse, having a lovely cup of tea and slice of toast.  Seeing the surgeon who told me how things had gone and the physiotherapist who told me about aftercare and exercise. 

A wonderful team.

Dear Happy shoulder

Thank you for taking the time to share your recent experience of surgery in Western Isles Hospital.

I was very pleased to hear that you felt well cared for during your patient journey and that everything was explained well to you, both before and after the surgery.

Best wishes for your ongoing recovery
