I have been using the services at both Hairmyres and Monklands hospital. 2 years ago following a holiday abroad I went to the doctors as I had been bitten on the hand while away. The doctor gave me cream but it didn't make any difference so I was referred to a consultant in Hairmyres. The consultant was great and discovered a mosquito had laid eggs and I ended up with encephalitis. I was supported throughout my treatment by various departments specifically ward 16 and Psychology - all of the treatment was first class. During that time it was discovered that I had a polyp which was then found to be cancerous and I had to have further treatment in ward 18 and blood tests etc at Monklands. It has been such a stressful time but everyone has been so supportive to help us through it all.
I just want to say a huge thank you to the NHS - my treatment has been excellent. When I get the all clear I will volunteer to give something back.

"very grateful"
