"I fractured my ankle"

About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Orthopaedic Ward B23

(as the patient),

I am writing my story about ward B23 Forth Valley Hospital, Larbert. I was admitted to A&E after I suffered a fall I was told I had fractured my ankle. I was then taken to ward B23 .

I would just like to say all staff were amazing but one nurse in particular was the best nurse I have ever met. His name is Colin. My mood lifts when I know he is caring for me. I'm a large lady, I struggle with confidence about my weight, and anyone seeing my body Colin totally puts me at ease, never has anyone helped me is such a way he has. He is very professional about what he does for a job, he is just the best ever.

Also my physio nurses, they were Karen and Sandra, these ladies are also amazing, gave me praise when I needed it, nothing was a problem to them they have helped me so much.

I'm still in hospital but hopefully get home soon, but without these 3 very special people I wouldn't be where I am today. I believe praise where it's due and it's definitely needed to be told about these 3 very special people on this ward, they are absolutely Angels and I would like their bosses to know this, thanks again.

Good afternoon,

I am sorry to read about your fall and injury. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, it is great to know about your positive experiences with the team, in particular Colin, Karen and Sandra. I will pass this feedback onto them, I am sure they will be equally grateful to read this.

I hope you are doing well in your recovery,

Take care,

Alex
