"Day Case Gynae ward 308"

Having suffered for many many years with my menstrual cycle decided to eventually get some medical help. Referral to gynae was pretty quick and the scan at out patients xray completed within weeks. A hysteroscopy was tried in March of this year but too painful and was told it would need to be done under anaesthetic. Pre-assessment appointment was in April and did have a wee bit of wait till date of procedure (but I understand this would of been down to seriousness of each individual as how appointments are allocated).

I was in for a procedure under general anaesthetic on the this November.

From the moment I arrived (8am) till the moment I left (9pm) the staff were all lovely and kept me well informed of what was happening. Theatre staff were also really friendly and attentive. 

I was told by the registrar to phone the secretary in 2 weeks for results of samples taken and this was the only time I felt that there was annoyance at staff being asked a question.

On the whole my experience was handled professionally and compassionately and as a member of the NHS myself feel that our staff do an amazing job and sometimes do not receive the acknowledgement they truly deserve.
