"Kindness after a procedure"

I had a gynae procedure at St John’s Hospital, Livingstone. I didn’t feel well afterwards and pretty much fainted but the CSW, nurse and consultant were amazing making sure I could lie down, checking on me and getting a cup of tea and biscuits. They were really kind when I was feeling really awful. Just wanted to say thanks, it was much appreciated.

It means a lot to hear that the CSW, nurse, and consultant made a difference during a tough moment. I’ll make sure your kind words are passed on to them—they’ll really appreciate it.
