"went in for apendicitus, came out with a cyst on..."

About: Leicester Royal Infirmary

Anything else?

doctors where brilliant on ward 8 in balmoral they fetched me meds when i needed them and kept me up to date on what was going on throughout the whole process. my consultant was amazing and the doctors worked through the night to get me pain relief and extra food . they all had a smile on there face even at 4am.the only complaint i would have would be was that they had a transvestite next to me in another bed on the same bay which left me feeling kind of uncomfertable as im a woman with a history of domestic violence by men.. i have no problem with him being a transvestite, just felt uncomfertable in the same bay. went from a&e up to ward 8
