"Superb care - Surgical Assessment Unit"

About: The Tunbridge Wells Hospital

I was sent to the Tunbridge Wells Hospital by my doctor for excruciating stomach pains to the surgical assssment ward. I was admitted for investigation and found to be an infected gallbladder. I was treated very well and kept informed at all times. Once my pain was managed and I spent 3 days at the hospital I was discharged and told I would be having my gallbladder removed once the infection had gone.

Unfortunately after a week at home I once again became very unwell and was re-admitted into the same ward. (I had blood test taken at the Gp surgery and received a call from the hospital informing me that my liver function was poor). My liver was affected and I had severe jaundice. I was in for 10 days and really can not fault the care I received both times. All staff were excellent and I was impressed with the care I received.

I met with the consultant who booked in for gallbladder removal just after Christmas.

Thank you for writing about your recent experience at Tunbridge Wells Hospital. We were pleased that you received such excellent care and hope that you have now had the operation and are recovering well. We will certainly pass your thanks to the matron for the unit to share with her staff. With kind regards, the PALS team
