I am due to have the other knee done in a few months and I shall certainly request a bed in the Cobham Clinic again. I would also like to say what a good experience I had during the surgery, I had a spinal anaesthetic with sedation rather than a general and my only memory is of feeling warm and comfortable throughout, I would not hesitate to have the same again. I have just one complaint which concerns a Medical Secretary, I tried to contact her on two occasions and left messages, but on neither occasion did she bother to return my call. I contacted the secretary at my doctors surgery, in the hope that they would have a email address which I could have used as an alternate method of contact, and was told that it was rare for any medical secretaries to return phone calls.
