I came in for a full hip replacement, I was very very nervous as I hate needles and knew would have to have a spinal for my operation, the staff on ward 3 were fantastic, keeping me calm explaining everything that was going to happen and at what time,you also get your own room which lessened the nerves a bit more. The operating staff took me in knowing how nervous I was about the spinal and couldn't of been more supportive and was over and done in 5 minutes, next thing I remember is being wide awake and on way to recovery. Had a bit of a bad night with scatica but the nurses were great and didn't lose patience with me when I needed abit help in bed to move to get comfortable every couple of hours. All in all if I ever have to have another operation no matter what for I hope I get to choose this hospital, best hospital I've been in for the care of the staff, the friendliest, cleanest and food, would never be nerves again if went here.
"Fantastic hospital"
