"Received excellent, professional care."

On Nov. 26th, I was admitted to Springfield Hospital for a total hip replacement under the care of an Orthopaedic Surgeon.

On the 28th, pending discharge, the physiotherapist noted that I did not look well and was experiencing rigors.

She immediately advised the nursing staff and what I understand from my wife, who was present shortly thereafter, a remarkable team response of consultants, nursing staff (including supervisors), pharmacy staff and laboratory service staff rapidly attended me.

Only through their professional, prompt and efficient team intervention, that I was able rapidly recover and was fit for discharge the evening of Dec. 1st.

There are many individuals that I would like to thank for their professional and empathetic care, to include but not limited to the following (as I do not have individual name available to me), but most especially the surgeon, who coordinated my care.

Orthopaedic Surgeon;

Medical Consultants;

Anaesthesiologist;

Medical Officer;

Nursing staff;

Physiotherapists;

Pharmacy staff';

Laboratory staff;

Food service staff.

With highest regards and much thanks to all.
