Great care and attention

"Great care and attention"

About: University Hospital Hairmyres / Endoscopy

(as a service user),

I recently had a colonoscopy at Hairmyers Hospital. I had had a very bad and traumatic experience of colonoscopy 12 years ago. As a result I was absolutely petrified. However, as I had a positive CT colonography of growths I had to have a colonoscopy. 

My colonoscopy was carried out by Mr Amin and his nursing staff.

I can't thank them all enough for the great care and attention they gave me. 

The colonoscopy was comfortable. Mr Amin was absolutely fantastic and he and his staff took my fear of the procedure away. Can't thank them enough.

Dear Tootsiepops

Thank you for sharing your positive feedback regarding your recent colonoscopy. I will share your comments with Mr Amin and the wider team. They will be pleased to read that the procedure was comfortable and that they took some of the fear away from you.

It must have been worrying for you, especially after your last experience and the whole team will appreciate you taking the time to write.

Wishing you all the best

Lise
