I was listened to

Posted By Ch4rleyM4x

"I was listened to"

About: Maybole Day Hospital / Physiotherapy

(as a service user),

What a contrast in professionalism I've experienced. Since my disastrous experience in a different hospital, I was referred again to physiotherapy, this time at Maybole. This time I was listened to, made to feel as an equal, and had a bespoke exercise regime tailored to my pain and ability, I'm still benefiting from it now. Returning to my first experience, I have since been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and an MRI scan has shown evidence of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, I'm waiting on a DEXA scan for confirmation. the MRI also highlighted a fracture of a vertebrae, causing the excruciating pain which followed. It's a great shame our NHS doesn't have more like the true professional in Maybole. In the spirit of fairness and balance, I shall end by focusing on the positive experience there.

I respond initially to most of the posts and ensure they are passed to the appropriate team whether they are compliments, observations or grumbles. It is important to make sure all issues are addressed and I try to encourage that to happen for all the posts as required.

Welcome back Ch4rleyM4x,

It sounds as if you have been through the mill (or the wringer). As if one thing wrong with you isn't enough to cope with. That said, it is very gratifying to hear that your experience this time at Maybole has been so good and helpful. Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent experience, I will pass this to the team, I am sure they will appreciate your kind words.

Best wishes,

Eunice
