"Going into hospital for hernia operation"

About: Queen Margaret Hospital / Day Surgery Victoria Hospital / Pre-assessment

(as the patient),

Managed to get a cancellation for my hernia operation . I was asked to attend a pre-assessment  at Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy. I was greeted immediately on turning up  and my nurse was Andrea we did all the paperwork and everything was explained fully - I had blood pressure check height and weight and bloods taken then an ECG.

My appointment was in Queen Margaret Hospital in Dunfermline. I was admitted and all the checks from the nurse, anaesthetic nurse and surgeon again all explained, they were very thorough at every stage asking my name DOB etc even in operating theatre.

My care was exemplary from pre assessment to discharge  being involved all the time . Massive thank you to all the medical staff who had any involvement in my hospital stay, it was a day bed and I am now back home recovering, sore but knew that would be the case.
