Venesection - Genetic Haemochromatosis

"Venesection - Genetic Haemochromatosis"

About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Day Medicine

(as the patient),

I was diagnosed in January 2020 with GH  -  I had no idea that all the niggles and complaints over the last 30 years had a cause.  Venesection started today.  The Day Medicine Unit from the front door to the finish with a bag of blood was super smooth and reassuring.  Cathy was brilliant.  The Vampire needle went in without an "ouch"  first go.  Clear and helpful advice from Cathy...then " All done"  Done in a flash.  Then a Tunnock's Tea Cake - next appointment all arranged - no worries.  Cathy is ace.  

Thank you!
