Bilateral Knee Replacements

Story from nhs.uk

"Bilateral Knee Replacements"

About: New Cross Hospital

I was admitted to New Cross on 17 March, 2014 for total bilateral knee replacements. I can not praise the surgeon, Appleby suite staff and the A6 staff enough. After four nights in hospital, I was released to go home. Sixteen days following surgery, I am off the elbow crutches and using only one cane! I was treated with nothing but respect by all the staff. The only "downside" that I could see was that A6 is understaffed during the nighttime hours (there were only 4 staff on the nights I was in for the whole A6) but they did an excellent job of getting to everyone as quick as they could. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, you have given me back my mobility and my life!
