I awaited heart surgery. I attended pre assessment and was overwhelmed by everything despite the staff being kind and understanding. I contacted my surgeons secretary asking if surgeon could call me again as I didn't know how I would cope after surgery. Instead I received a call from Lindsay the nurse specialist, she explained everything too me but more importantly she listened to me. When I was admitted she came to see me on the ward simply to say hi and offer a friendly voice at a time I was allowed no visitors. I immediately felt at ease. When I went to surgery the staff picked me up on trolley and we had a laugh. I cannot thank all the staff at the golden jubilee enough. The staff cannot do enough for you and are so under appreciated. Thank you all for gifting me my life back.
