"Full Knee Replacement"

I was referred to the Barlborough NHS Treatment Centre because of severe pain to my left knee and subsequent X-Rays.

My first appointment was on 27th April.

After a most efficient and friendly check in the Consultant, indicated that a full knee replacement operation was required.

After the initial pre-operation procedures, the Anaesthetist who had concerns about a heart murmur saw me.

After a cardiologist’s report, I was called for surgery on 3rd July.

I was admitted to ward.

With another Consultant Surgeon and Anaesthetist who carried out an excellent task

I was discharged from the Treatment Centre on Wednesday July 5th

During the short stay, I had excellent Physio support that has continued since then.

I write to express my thanks to everyone at the treatment centre.

Without exception the explanations, care and practice were all outstanding.

I had heard excellent reports before I came, but nothing prepared me for such an outstanding performance from everyone that I met.
