I was in Inverclyde Royal Hospital recently to have a full knee replacement. I was extremely anxious about the procedure and the staff I dealt with were all fantastic. They were very understanding and reassuring and took time to explain procedures and my options.
I especially want to thank one of the nurses in Recovery - Louise. She looked after me before and after I went into theatre, especially after I had a mini meltdown just before going in to have the general anaesthetic that I had requested due to my fear. Also her care after the procedure when I was struggling in pain was exceptional. She was attentive to my needs, recognising my level of pain and advocating for me to negotiate further pain relief with doctors, thus achieving a stable level of pain management as well as reducing my overall distress. I cannot thank Louise enough and want her to know I am really grateful and thankful that she looked after me. Your work really matters and you make a difference to people.
"The excellent care I received"
