I was admitted into hospital with my gallbladder and had to undergo surgery to have it removed. During my stay the staff in both the wards and in theatre were fantastic.
The staff nurse who was with me in recovery made sure my pain was under control and helped me feel more relaxed by chatting with me and showing a genuine interest in me. He was a very calming presence. The staff on D9 were kind and attentive and ensured I was comfortable . The consultant who performed my surgery had a lovely manner about him and really helped me feel reassured.
The staff in theatre from anestheatist to the nurses were all bright and warm and really put me at ease.
As a nurse myself it's always difficult putting yourself and the hands of others and it's easy to be critical or pick faults , but I honestly couldn't fault any of it . To top it off the new hospital was lovely and made my whole experience even better
