"On Friday 4th October I was admitted due..."

About: Royal Lancaster Infirmary

What I liked

On Friday 4th October I was admitted due to a suspected appendix problem, the staff were amazing I was so impressed.

I would particularly like to thank the radiographer on duty for their diligence and insistence that I proceed immediately with a C.T.scan (despite some opposition).

The registrar has I feel done an excellent job, I can hardly see a scar, and only 5 days from the operation I feel absolutely wonderful.

The doctor was charming with such a good bedside manor.

An enormous thank you must also go to the nursing staff who worked so hard and conscientiously.

Thank you to all on ward 37

What could be improved

I my circumstances nothing, bar the odd repositioning in bed when I felt like a beached whale, but when staff are working so hard I do realise this is unrealistic! There is hardly enough time in the day to fulfill all the nursing duties let alone anything else.
