Back at the end of April I suffered a problem with gallstones. I went to A and E at Wythenshawe hospital where that diagnosis was put forward as a possibility but the favoured one was food poisoning. However, two more attacks and an ultrasound confirmed it was indeed gallstones.
Initially, I was a little upset that the problem was not identified first time because it delayed treatment, lead to the other two attacks and meant my holiday was potentially compromised.
However, when I was seen by Miss Capozzi, the consultant, things could not have been better. She explained everything. The operation was performed on earlier this month. July as she suggested it would. During the day of the operation, the whole team treated me efficiently and courteously and kept me informed at every stage.
The operation went according to plan and I was discharged at 4: 30.
Many thanks to Miss Capozzi and the whole team on duty at Wythenshawe on Friday. The NHS is great.
