Today I had 2 teeth removed under a general anaesthetic for various reasons. I had wound myself up the day and night before and was anxious about not being able to have a relative accompany me - however, from arrival i recieved 5/5 care. The nurses, surgeons and anaesthetists were so kind, patient and comforting and made me feel at ease. I didn't feel judged, only looked after. I was in there from 8 o'clock and was discharged at 1pm. So considering I had a general anaesthetic and woke around 11.30 ish, I was able to go home at 1pm, this was brilliant! Meeting the anaesthetists, surgeons etc made me feel as though they cared about you as a person rather than just a number. So happy and grateful for the care I received today. Also, bearing in mind we're in a pandemic with the terrible Coronavirus, I feel as though it wasn't affected by this. Thank you you for all your help and making me comfortable.
"Amazing care "
