"Smooth and easy process"

About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Day Medicine

(as the patient),

I went into FVRH today for a second attempt at a lumbar puncture. A man named Alistair came from the Anaesthetics team and made my experience as smooth and and easy as it possibly could have been. He understood that my first attempt at a lumbar puncture a few weeks prior was unsuccessful and quite traumatic for me, so he made sure to do everything perfectly, quickly and kept me really calm and reassured. He is a great asset to Forth Valley Royal Hospital and I appreciate him and the NHS so much.

Thank you

Dear mneraj,

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback regarding your recent visits for Lumbar Puncture. I am sorry to hear that the first attempt was traumatic for you and I know how nervous you would have been to return for a second attempt. Its great to know that your return visit went well and you felt calm and reassured by Alistair from the Anaesthetic Team.

I will be sure to pass on this lovely feedback to him and the team.

Kind regards

Gaynor
