Had an inaugural hernia which became strangulated. I phoned 111 to seek advice about the severe pain and not feeling well. They informed me to go to A&E as a red flag. Arrived at pilgrims where some forms filled out and then had to wait. Shortly went to a side room and waited for doctor. Half hour later doctor arrived asked questions and prodded my hernia . I was informed the surgical team would come and talk to me . A few hours later after speaking to them I was informed a theatre. The explanation of the needles in the Spine was clear and I was made at ease
