"First surgery"

About: Busselton Health Campus / Surgical Services

(as the patient),

I had my first ever surgery earlier this month and first time going to sleep. I was so very nervous about it. The nurses were incredible, starting with Lyn and Troy, T and I think her name was Sarah, all made me calm and talked me through everything, made me laugh and feel comfortable.

I didn't wake up very well I think I had a bit of a panic attack and I'm not a small guy but they were able to calm me down, the nurses in recovery were amazing Renee and Beth were the only 2 names I caught but there was others who were just amazing, the whole surgical staff and nurses were wonderful and absolute credit to all of them and hopefully this msg gets back to them because I can't thank them all enough.

Dear DTL44,

Thank you for writing in Care Opinion, it is so lovely to hear good feedback from our patients. We are very lucky to have such an engaged and compassionate team at Busselton and glad you felt supported during your first ever surgery.

It will be a pleasure to pass on you feedback to the team members involved in your father's care.

Yours sincerely, Leah
