"Gastroscopy experience"

Whilst the actual procedure isn't a lot of fun I have nothing but praise for all the staff who looked after me and I did indeed feel looked after.

I was quite anxious and undecided about whether to have sedation or not and was listened to and offered a combination of the anaesthetic throat spray and entonox which really did go some way to calming my anxieties as did the constant reassurance and encouragement during the procedure.

I felt completely unhurried during the recovery and the discharge conversation was really helpful. Thank you all so much.
