"Whilst not pleasant, procedures never..."

About: University Hospital Of North Tees

What I liked

I was a patient at the day case unit for an epidural injection, very nervous and anxious about hospitals and needles, my nurse and the anaesthetist in particular were very patient and helpful and ensured that my procedure was relatively straight forward.

What could be improved

Nothing I found the experience whilst not pleasant (of course) but the nurse and anaesthetist couldn't have done any more to ensure that I felt listened to and assured.EpiduralNervousAnaesthetists
