I would like to praise the staff within the Colposcopy clinic at Stobhill Hospital (clinic F).
In May I attended for a colposcopy with Dr Dowell.
I was extremely nervous, but Dr Dowell could not have been nicer. She talked me through absolutely everything, answering all my questions and really understanding how nerve-wracking this could be for someone. She took her time with the procedure and made sure every step of the way I was comfortable, that I knew what was going on and she took time after the procedure to answer any further questions I had.
Pauline was assisting in my colposcopy and all I can say is, she is an angel! I was quite teary as I was nervous and had never had a procedure like this, but Pauline calmed me down, spoke to me throughout, did not judge and was so understanding. Pauline even let me sit after the treatment, have a wee coffee and biscuit and even then she made sure I was relaxed and that I felt okay.
I think without both Dr Dowell and Pauline, I would have really struggled to continue the treatment but because of how kind, understanding and calming they were this helped me to continue with the treatment.
Both DrDowell and Pauline are a credit to the NHS and this should be recognised.
"Kind, understanding and calming"
