I had no clue what a detached retina was, nor how urgent an issue it is until I suddenly lost the sight in one eye. I saw a consultant on a Wednesday and was admitted for surgery at 07:30 on Friday the same week. Every single person, nurse, anaesthetist, doctor and surgeon who dealt with me was truly excellent, kind, caring, diligent and understanding of my nervousness. I can honestly say I have never had a better experience within the NHS.
