"The overall impression I took away was respect"

I've recently had my bowels inspected for untowardnesses. The team were absolutely great from start to finish. What could have been an uncomfortable humiliation was instead a seamless experience carried with genuine goodwill, full and frank information, and great gentleness. I've had worse flights on budget airlines. 

Post-procedure, the information obtained was explained to my partner and I. The Freeman's colorectal department positively encourages loved ones into the loop. On the one hand a trouble shared is a trouble halved. On the other, there's someone there to remember stuff, as unwelcome surprises can often overwhelm. In this case, I wasn't too bothered. What ever was found was found early.

The follow ups are fast as well. I'm due further imaging within 14 days. 

The overall impression I took away was respect. Respect for patients, relatives, and colleagues. I've worked for unhappy organisations, and the team I met was a real team. 

I would recommend the Freeman to anyone. I would also recommend you don't have a massive kebab afterwards.
