All being well, I am very impressed

"All being well, I am very impressed "

About: Tameside General Hospital / Gynaecology

(as the patient),

I was admitted in February for a routine total hysterectomy and B. S. O. I saw my surgeon and anaesthetist before the surgery and was told exactly what would happen. Operation was exactly as I was told.

My only issue was that I was on the enhanced recovery plan and was told painkillers would be offered every four hours. Unfortunately, I had to ask for them! I also had to carry a bag of my blood from the drain with me, and it wasn't put on a stand.

All being well, I am very impressed with Tameside Hospital.
