"Day Surgery"

I was referred to the NGH by my GP on 18th Nov, by 18th Feb I had, had my hernia repair op in the Bev Stokes Day surgery unit. I feel very satisfied with the whole process. All the staff were excellent. The only things I would change would be : 1. Discharge could have done in private in case I had any 'delicate/private' questions, rather than in the waiting area. 2. Instructions on pain relief, changing dressing etc in writing, because having just come around I found I wasn't actually taking things in. 3. Finally it would have been nice for the surgeon, or even his assistant, to just tell me how the op had gone. But overall a good experience
