Staff have been so caring

Posted By Tipser

"Staff have been so caring"

About: Ninewells Hospital / Day Surgery Ninewells Hospital / Ear, Nose & Throat

(as a relative),

My Husband and myself have been really anxious over the past couple of months due to him possibly having Lymphoma.

Mr Manik and his Staff have been so caring and contacted my Husband on a regular basis to keep him updated. He had an Operation and as soon as the Pathology results came back Elaine contacted him by phone to tell him it was confirmed as a benign Tumour as she knew how anxious he was and so he didn't have to wait to hear the positive news in person.

We had an Appointment today at Ninewells with Mr Manik & Elaine to discuss the results. They are both a credit to the NHS. We spent 12 hours in the Surgical Ward on the day of his Operation and all the Staff looked after him and myself very well.

Thanks to everyone who has been involved in my Husband's care.
