I am 23 and I was recently referred to the Surgical Assessment Unit by my GP with ?Appendicitis. I was given an Ultrasound which showed my appendix was inflamed, surprising both the Doctors and Nurses. The staff were all very friendly, caring and attentive, I could not have asked for them to have made my stay and experience there any better than it was. It needs to be commented on, and I wish I knew the name of the recovery nurse who looked after me once I woke after the surgery because she was amazing, I was screaming and crying in so much pain, she gave me more pain relief, comforted me, chatted to me and held my hand which I am sure must have been sore for her once I let go. She definitely made my experience all that much better and I wont forget how she cared and made me feel! I am currently studying Children's Nursing and although I would have much rather not had surgery it has allowed me to experience it from the other side and I will be able to use the skills these nurses used to make me feel more comfortable and at ease. Thank you
