My ongoing journey through Orthopaedics

Posted By kralc

"My ongoing journey through Orthopaedics"

About: University Hospital Monklands / Trauma & orthopaedics University Hospital Wishaw / Trauma & orthopaedics

(as a service user),

I injured my leg whilst walking in Chamonix; was airlifted to hospital; treated & flew home the next day.

That evening I attended A/E at Monklands & was referred to Wishaw where I was assessed & scheduled for surgery the next day.

During my "orthopaedic journey" I have been met many kind & dedicated staff.

Some I remember but many I was not able to to.

The ones I remember are:

Dr Kennedy in Monklands A/ E. Ms Bramley, Consultant in Orthopaedics. Dr Gibson Orthopaedics, Dr Xavier, Consultant in Anaesthesia - a very kind, reassuring man.

Robert  ODP at Wishaw Day Surgery. Amy, Day Surgery Nurse.

Those whose names I do not remember include all the staff I came into Contact with at both Hospitals. 

All the clerical & other out patients staff.

Orthopaedic Technicians.

The Paramedic who assisted me into Monklands A/E when he saw I was struggling down the hill.

Thank you to all of them.

Good afternoon Maureen & thanks for your reply.

When I was entering / grading my experience at Wishaw I somehow gave 3 star rating by mistake.

This should have been 4 / 5 star.

My apologies.
