"I had my left kidney removed, due to having a tumour ."

About: University Hospital Wishaw / Urology

(as the patient),

I had my left kidney removed, due to having a cancerous tumour .

I was referred to  Mr Vints  urology dept, I was terrified  at the thought of an operation. But when I met Mr Vint, instantly I felt at ease, felt like I had known him for years. he was so amazing, and so was his team. I had my operation n couldn't  believe  how well it went x

I owe mr vint and his team a great big thanks n words can't describe how grateful I am to them and the staff for a great experience that I had in hospital  , I was really  sad to hear that mr vint had moved on n was no longer in wishaw  hospital when I went in Nov 2018 for my check up. I am due to go in December 2019 for my next check up  n it won't be the same. But am sure he is making a difference  in many people's lives  wherever  he is, but many thanks n God bless you all real good x

Dear Peacemaker

Thank you so much for taking the time to tell us about your experience whist in hospital to have your kidney removed. This must have been a very stressful and worrying time for you and I am pleased that Mr Vint and his team were able to put you at ease and make this less stressful for you.

Mr Vint has moved on from NHS Lanarkshire but I will make sure that I pass a copy of your kind words on to him and I will also share with the Urology team in Lanarkshire.

Very best wishes

Lynn McTavish
