In early Feb I experienced a very severe Urinary Tract Infection causing serious prostate problems and extreme pain. Blood tests revealed a very high PSA rating accompanied by an extremely high infection level
Woodside doctors calmed me down (I was fearing the worst), tested me and through a course of "bleach level" antibiotics and subsequent blood tests came to the conclusion that it was an infection rather than cancer (the PSA reduced dramatically).
All through the 4 months of treatment and blood tests the Doctors were available to answer any questions and they were all, including the receptionists, sympathetic, empathetic and a pleasure (given the circumstances) to deal with.
I was also surprised given their obvious extreme workload, how courteous and calm they were.
However everything boils down to the skill, experience and behaviours of the doctors you see and they were excellent.
