About: Pilgrim Hospital / Gynaecology

(as the patient),

So after coming back with Hpv positive for the third smear test, I was called in for a colposcopy. I'm not going to lie I was so scared. Unfortunately the ward was busy as mad on the day.   The staff did the absolute best they could to keep people comfortable and happy, but I was anxious as hell.  After a hour of waiting and feeling for the non stop staff, I was called in and informed they were investigating abnormal cells. After getting into position and staring at the screen the gino informed me they would need to take a biopsy.

I'm not going to lie, I lost my £hit, panicked like crazy and refused the biopsy.  At this point I can't thank the nurses enough, they are honestly beautiful people. I was rescheduled an appointment for a few weeks time. I returned. After waiting an hour for the staff, (they was rushed off their feet) I went In and had the nerve for the biopsy! And I hate to say it! I felt nothing!!! If I hadn't heard the noise I wouldn't of known it had happened.  Seriously, thank you Harry and the nurses, you are beautiful people and souls, you deserve all the praise in the world.. thank you 🖤
