These two nurses were particularly amazing

"These two nurses were particularly amazing"

About: Lincoln County Hospital / General medicine

(as a parent/guardian),

I took my son to Lincoln county hospital clinic 5 to have a blood test.

A blood test is something that he really does not like, but he's two and what two year old would like a blood test but unfortunately due to having developmental hip dysplasia he has had to have a few blood tests, this one was different though....although the staff on safari ward and rainforest ward are lovely, the two nurses today were particularly amazing.

Usually a blood test is a fight, to hold him still and almost restrain him, its horrible to have to do it but today was different, today was so quick and it was over and done with before he even knew it, with barely any tears. He wasn't just a brave boy, the nurses had kept talking to him and kept him completely preoccupied.

I cannot thank the nurses enough for today, its made me feel less anxious about any further blood tests that he may need to have.
