"Recent total hip replacement"

I had a total hip replacement at Ayr  Hospital and am now recovering at home. My treatment was second to none while I was in hospital.

I had my other hip replaced about 12 years ago at Abbey Carrick Glen Hospital privately. I opted for this because I was in terrible pain and the waiting list was very long. My recent op was done within a few weeks (around five) of my consultation with Mr Kenneth Young, who also did my first op, I requested consultation with him, as I had no problem with my previous op and was fortunate enough to be granted this request.

He is a very good doctor, easy to talk to and put me at ease, especially when I was told that I would not be having a general anaesthetic for my op. I was reassured by several of the health professionals I spoke to, and all was well. Everyone in Station 11 at Ayr Hospital are to be praised for the treatment I received. My experience was far better than the private treatment, and no eye watering bill to pay! Well done to the NHS!
