"Very supportive team member"

I attended for my yearly MRI scan in QEUH. 

Although I have had many scans over the years I was a bit more nervous about this one as I only went through urgent brain surgery 4 months prior and suffered from PTSD following the surgery.  Radiographer Craig was fantastic, explained everything in detail and went through all safety questions. Being deaf I relay on lipreading and slow clear speaking.

Throughout the consult Craig did this and ensured I understood every question.  My scan was 1 hour long which gave me time to think over lots of things. Unfortunately in the last 6 months I have had a lot going on in my personal life which has been very difficult and overwhelming. I became emotional during the scan and when radiographer Craig came into the room to inject the contrast dye he ensured that I was ok and after the scan sat with me and listened to me. This was extremely helpful to be able to chat about things. 

Craig was fantastic and great with patients. Excellent member of staff within the MRI department.
