Good experience of recent spinal surgery

"Good experience of recent spinal surgery"

About: John Radcliffe Hospital / Neurosurgery

(as the patient),

I cannot speak too highly of my recent stay in the Neurosciences Ward where I had surgery to fuse my vertebrae. The surgeon, his staff, the anaesthetist, the junior doctors, the nurses were all so pleasant and help that I was almost sorry to leave.

I always like to know peoples' names and was soon on first-name terms with the junior doctors, two of who - both originally from Nigeria - were particularly great chaps, helpful and interested in me.

My stay in this ward was in stark contrast to a recent follow-up visit to the Eye Hospital Out-Patients Dept which seems in need of a refresher-course in the handling of parients. I should be glad to go into more detail if required.
