What I liked
I was in Hull Royal Infirmary for an embolisation of a large fistula in my head. I had been suffering from tinnitus for a considerable time and had also developed a droopy right eye. I was sufficently worried to
take this to A and E, who referred me to the Eye hospital, who referred me onwards and on the basis of an earlier MRI I was admitted to the care of Ward
12 Neurology and Ward 40 Neurosurgery - Critical Care, and had CT and
Angiograms which supplemented the results of the MRI in showing the extent of
the problem. I am pleased to say that my tinnitus has gone and I am feeling
much better.
I am most impressed by every aspect of HRI that I experienced - especially the
rapidity between diagnosis and the procedure and the teamwork and cooperation
between departments.
I found all the staff I came into contact with ranging from the people who
brought round food trolleys to senior consultants friendly, helpful and
reassuring. The wards were spotlessly clean, nursing staff attentive and food
good. I am particularly grateful to the Doctors in Neurology and the Eye
Clinic/Hospital and in Neurosurgery who gave up time to explain the procedures so carefully, and for the latter's great skill
in carrying out the embolisation.
HRI is clearly an excellent well-managed hospital. I have had similar positive
reports from a close friend who went in for day surgery on a hernia a few weeks
ago.
