"Great stay during operation, ward 9, Monklands"

Admitted for an op the day before (op first thing in morning), and made very welcome at ward 9, Monklands. Given freedom to roam as op wasn't until next day. Anaesthetist came to visit that evening and explained procedure, very reassuring. Throughout night, ward staff were excellent. Timely reminders about food and drink pre-op. Before transfer to theatre, again visits by key personnel detailing their part in the process. Mind at rest again, everyone very professional and I felt relaxed. Transfer nurses again going through all details before move to theatre where yet more detailed checks took place. Woke up at the other side and back to ward 9 where the start of a fabulous recovery began. Ward staff as before were excellent, very attentive. Next day, visits by key personnel, x-rays taken and medicine distributed along with trip to orthodontics, all very well executed, professional to the end. Ward doctor even popped in just before I left to see how I was (he'd just started shift as I was about to leave). Personal level of attention by all on ward 9 was exemplary.
