I had been referred as had been having problems with my throat/voice since being in ICU the previous year. At my appointment there were several people in the room with me including a student which I think is important as we all have to learn. The procedure was explained fully prior and during it. Afterwards the findings were explained. I asked a list of questions which were answered accordingly.
I attended a pre-op which overall was fine. However, I was not informed of which daily medication I should take on the day of my surgery.
On the day of my surgery were confused about forementioned.
On a positive note all staff were very attentive and explained what would be happening before, during, and after surgery. Even though I was keen to return home I felt a tad rushed. In hindsight I could have used an extra few hours as when home I felt very dizzy and not well. I couldn't speak to anyone due to the surgery however I was aware on what to do by my own knowledge.
Overall I was happy with my experience :)
I feel a better form of communication is needed by all staff involved in each case. I am aware this is a difficult situation.
