Hand surgery

(as a service user),

I stupidly stabbed myself in the hand with a kitchen knife. It went into my palm and cut into my nerve. All the staff that I looked after me have been absolutely fantastic. Even though the they were stretched to the limit and over capacity, 44 patients and only 33 beds, they delivered excellent care. 

The only improvement needed is the budget the NHS is allocated. These professionals work so hard and it astounds me that they are so kind and understanding to patients with all the overcrowding and budget cuts.

Thank you so much to everyone that looked after me. We are so lucky to have such an amazing ‘free’ health service.
