My hip replacement dislocated at home during lockdown & I had to call 999. An ambulance arrived to take me to hospital, the 2 paramedics were excellent, gave me lots of gas & air for the pain & put a facemask on me, they were very reassuring. Obviously I was nervous about going to hospital during the Covid crisis but it was unavoidable. A& E staff were really good, all masked & gloved, friendly, efficient & understanding of pts anxiety. I had to be admitted for 2 days so was given a swab test for CV19 which proved negative. All staff on the ward, xray & theatre were brilliant, from the tea lady to the nurses, surgeons & physio team. I felt very safe in Lincoln County Hospital.
