"Sedation in sunderland day unit"

In December i was having a three way nerve block and ultra sound in my left knee as after my partial knee replacement last April, I've been suffering with a lot of pain and was referred from my consultant to pain clinic and was told its probably neuropathic pain,was prescribed Toperimate.

The staff on the ward were lovely, until i went into theatre. The anaesthetist tried twice to put the cannula in my hand, knowing full when I am needle phobic,then says I have chicken veins. The dr doing the procedure didn't even introduce themself, but roughly got the cannular in, and started the procedure before I had been sedated. I knew I hadn't properly been sedated as I felt all the needles go in my knee and what ever else was going on, they could see I was distressed and carried on, I was left feeling very upset, I wasn't going to complain but I feel that I should as I wouldn't want to let this to happen to anyone else. I've had this person before doing sedation and it was once again rough.
