"I cannot praise them enough"

About: Perth Royal Infirmary / Gastroenterology

(as the patient),

I had a colonoscopy using gas and air as I had to drive home. The staff were amazing and welcoming. I would single out Teresa, Claire, Stephanie and Amy but I know there were others and apologies for not shouting them out. At all points they kept me informed and whilst painful at times they got me through it and its little wonder most people are sedated. They were friendly and professional and at all points I was made to feel valued and treated with respect in what is a pretty intimate examination. The chat after was a total pleasure and almost made up for the feeling of having had a an articulated lorry driven up my rectum. Joking obviously but in all seriouness I cannot praise them enough they are all a credit to their profession. Many thanks
