I was transferred to ward 64 after 30 hours presenting to ED with back / leg pain. I thought I would be sent home with analgesia so the shock when I was told I needed emergency spinal surgery.
The staff in ward 64 were all amazing from the moment I was admitted. Before I went for my surgery I was anxious to say the least, Katie was just amazing. She reassured me & listened to me. I will never forget how she treated me that night.
Post op all the staff in the ward were lovely, I always felt bad pressing my buzzer for help but it was never a problem to the staff. I want to also mention the theatre staff, the Anaesthetist (I cannot remember her name) & the Anaesthetic Nurse William I'm sure - they were so reassuring & listened to me as I voiced my concerns about a GA.
This was my first time in theatre & having a GA so I was understandably worried / anxious, I felt no question was left unanswered & felt I could ask anything even if I thought it was stupid. It meant a lot that the staff listened to me & took time with me.
