"Full Knee Replacement"

About: Victoria Hospital / Trauma & orthopaedics

(as the patient),

I had a full knee replacement in October 2022 at Victoria Hospital Kirkcaldy. My surgeon was Mr Cook, what an amazing gentleman explaining what was done and visiting me after my operation. Also not forgetting Clemi my Anaesthetist and theatre staff who make this all possible. 

In addition to this I would like to thank Staff Nurse Tanya and the nurses who were there on the ward 24\7. The support and encouragement I had after such a traumatic feeling after surgery was absolutely magnificent nurses like Pauline, Carly, Emma , Claudia etc and a lot more I can't remember their names. Their kindness and professionalism are second to none, no wonder ward 10 can run the way it does right down to the cleaning staff who keep the ward so pristine and clean are exceptional too.   

I can't thank you all enough how you made me feel after my operation, relaxed, nothing too much trouble no matter what or time of day. I applaud every single one of you who are part of the team it can't be easy with the long hours and support you give at the drop of a hat when required.

God bless you all you wonderful people x
