"Operation to remove appendix"

About: Kettering General Hospital / General surgery

I visited my out of hours doctors clinic with severe abdominal pain at 05:40 one morning. I was sent to Kettering General Hospital and was seen by a doctor and had bloods taken all before 06:15. I was seen my a surgeon soon after and was told that i would need to have an operation that day to remove my appendix. I can not speak highly enough of my surgeon and all of the staff. The surgeon who i spoke with originally was so informative, helpful and reassuring. I was placed in the Deene Acute Surgical Unit while awaiting the surgery and all the nurses and staff were brilliant.The anaesthetists and surgeons were very reassuring and friendly, which was a relief as i have never had surgery before. After the operation i was placed in Recovery, then moved back to Deene ward and finally on to Geddington ward before being discharged 2 days after the operation. Obviously nobody wants to be admitted to hospital to have surgery but the care and dedication from everyone was extremely pleasing to see. A huge thanks to all involved.
