"hernia"

About: Crosshouse Hospital / General Surgery

(as the patient),

I was on the waiting list and had a call on Wednesday asking if I could take a cancellation for the next day. I could, so in I went at 8 am, got prepped and taken into the OR. Next thing I remember is coming round in the recovery room. Very efficient, kind nurses, good explanations and a lovely cup of coffee and toast afterwards.

The surgery went well apparently and now I'm back home without a hernia: )

Many thanks to all the day surgery staff at Crosshouse for a job well done and the very pleasant attitude of everyone who dealt with me.

I respond initially to most of the posts and ensure they are passed to the appropriate team whether they are compliments, observations or grumbles. It is important to make sure all issues are addressed and I try to encourage that to happen for all the posts as required.
