"day surgery"

About: Burnley General Hospital

Being very nervous of having a general anaesthetic for gallbladder surgery is arrived for day surgery. On arrival in was met by reception who quickly notified nursing staff I had arrived. From then on it was constantly reassured and everything explained.. And believe me I asked lots of questions. The whole team from health care assistants to consultant looked after me and I felt like they really care.
