"Mole removal"

About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Dermatology

(as the patient),

I had a mole which appeared in the last year, so after check it was decided that the best course of action was to have it removed. I must admit that I both both nervous and slightly terrified. Thankfully with the jokes and chat from David & the encouraging support from Helen I got through it.

Many years ago I had one done on my back and I was nowhere near as scared as I was with this, possibly both the thought of it and my mind running haywire were actually worse than the actual event.  

Cannot praise the dermatology day surgery unit more highly.

Thank you for your very supportive feedback.

We try to keep a light-hearted mood in the theatre to ease nerves, and I am delighted you found this effective.

I shall ensure Helen knows her good work is appreciated. Hopefully everything is healing well, thank you once again for taking the time to share your thoughts.
