Wonky knee!

Posted By Knees up

"Wonky knee!"

About: Trauma & orthopaedics / Orthopaedic National Treatment Centre Victoria Hospital / Trauma & orthopaedics

(as the patient),

I had two orthopedic pre-op assesments where Gillian, Tracey and other staff members looked after me.  They put me at ease for the following TKR I would be having!

Was admitted to Ward 10 early morning and had my operation done the same day.  Mr Chesney was the consultant, I couldn't have been in better hands as his whole team looked after me so well. Lots of people involved but they were all brilliant!

After my op, was taken back to Ward 10, can't speak highly enough for all the good care from nurses, Pysio's, OT, porters's and cleaning staff.  Such a wonderful team throughout!

I am now back home, hoping the recovery goes well.  A big Thank You!

Dear Knees up

Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback to care opinion, it is very much appreciated!

I am very happy to hear that Gillian, Tracie and the rest of the team made you feel at ease for your surgery. I am glad to hear that you have had your surgery and are now back home, it also good to hear that our colleagues in ward 10 were brilliant with your care during your stay. I and the rest of the pre-assessment team wish you an uneventful recovery.

Best wishes

Jackie
