About: Leeds General Infirmary / General surgery

i had my appointment for pre surgery i need some teeth out under anaesthetic i have a condition called addison's which i was amazed the nurse only ever saw 2 people in 10 years but they had a reasonable knowledge i felt stupid having to have anesthetic and had a phobia about the dentist other people would go to the dentist and have the tooth out with local i have 17 conditions most due to the addisons which can cause death due to stress lack of steroid my body needs to keep me going i don't produce steroid without it your body can go into shock while i had my weight height etc done and questions asked i could not fill the form out as ive had a past mini stroke weak right side they filled the form out for me showing a caring understanding also photocopied my info i brought with me they did a ecg and blood tests i was in and out within 2 hours it says it can take up to 3 hrs i didnt have to wait long for each test they were helpful directing me to where i needed to go i normally go to st james for appointments lgi were organised efficient not like st james could not ask for better staff at the lgi
