LGH patient sends plaudits for knee replacement
In February, 2015 I had total knee replacement surgery at Lions Gate Hospital.
There were a lot of hospital personnel involved in this process. There was the pre-surgery session which included blood tests, x-ray, pharmacist, physio-therapists and others. There was admitting, pre-op, the operation, post-op and the ward. There were many nurses on the ward and visits from others already mentioned.
The care after discharge was with the surgeon and physio-therapy.
The care was, in a word, outstanding. The ward recovery period could not have been better – very prompt attention and always with the highest level of courtesy, respect and professionalism.
I wish I had every name so I could mention them here, but my list (partial only) is: Dr. Panagiotopoulos, Dr. Veal, post-op nurse David, the nursing staff, including student nurses and their supervisor-instructors, and physio-therapist Janet (whose assistance contributed very significantly to an excellent recovery).
For me, everything went well and when I mention my surgical experience to anyone, I always include the word ‘outstanding’.
I extend my sincerest, heartfelt appreciation to all of you.
