Attended day case for surgery and prior to theatre was seen by a nurse who had such a kind and calm personality. I made sure to mention this to her personally. She is exactly the type of person you would want to be your nurse!
I had a fairly good experience with day case, all staff were friendly and knowledgeable!
I would like to mention one thing to be improved on. Although I assumed I would have a urinary catheter inserted for surgery, this wasn't mentioned and I forgot to ask beforehand. Nobody asked me to pass urine after surgery/ before I went home so again I didn't think to ask if it had happened.
It wasn't until I got home that I realised that a catheter had been inserted/removed. I appreciate this is may be an obvious thing to happen for surgery, but it would have made me feel better if it had been mentioned at some point, just as a heads up.
Apart from this - a positive experience!
