"The showed great empathy"

I had day surgery procedure for an Orthopaedic procedure. I was worked up about the procedure & the thought of being knocked out.  I cannot thank my care nurse enough for her approach with me whilst preparing me to go to surgery.  She was a total godsend, calming, lovely woman in all regards to her duty off care. I hope she sees this & knows how her manner in dealing with patients is deeply appreciated.

From then on in everyone else could not be more caring & shown great empathy towards me especially the anaesthetist for his calm demeanour in explaining how I put it the knock out procedure.  Although my surgery was unsuccessful, it was a decision I had to take for my mobility knowing beforehand it could fail.  I suppose if the NHS was not under the burden it is my procedure would have been done months earlier & the outcome may have been different but we will never know & I'm not going to dwell on that.  Once again thank you Wishaw Hospital
