"Ward 10 care exceeded expectations"

About: General Surgery / Colorectal Surgery (Ward 10)

(as the patient),

Admitted into Ninewells for major bowel surgery and spent 5 days on Ward 10 recovering. There was nothing I could fault. I had exceptional treatment from the surgical team, recovery unit and all nurses and doctors on the ward. Despite being extremely anxious for such major surgery I was made very comfortable and reassured at all times. The nursing team were very responsive and knowledgable. Nothing was too much trouble for both day and night staff and all were extremely caring, compassionate and kind, demonstrating an incredible level of quality nursing, support and attention. 

Big shout out to staff nurses Carla & Beth who stood out in helping me through my time at Ninewells and recover so quickly. 
I do not have enough words to describe how thankful I am to everyone on Ward 10. Definitely a shining example of displaying the most excellent care.
