"I had parathyroid removal and nodule dec 6th 2014"

About: Leicester Royal Infirmary

I spent months worrying like crazy about what to expect. On the day i was treated with respect and kindness. From nursing staff to doctors but the anethertist and surgeon were absolutely fantastic they explained everything even made me giggle and feel well at ease. They explained everything and i didnt feel rushed. My partner was treated tespectfully as well and was allowed to wait with me. Wards were clean also. Id read a lot of things on here and was scared but i honestly never found anything like it on my visits to LRI day ward balmoral and ward 7 balmoral. Operating staff were fun people who made me laugh before my operation ill never forget that. Surgeon was fantastic the best! After my op i was comfortable. I stayed in for observation and drain removed . Ive been home 48hrs my neck stitches are healing well. I just want to say thanks to all staff that delt with me i had a positive experience at this hospital and if you too are reading this and will be on these wards youll be cared for brilliantly so no need to fear . Thank you leicester royal!!!
