"Immunisation"

Today I visited KEMH and was assisted by Laura, a midwife in the East Wing clinic who administers immunisations, and I honestly cannot praise her enough. From the moment I sat down, she made me feel completely at ease — calm, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. She explained everything so kindly and naturally, which immediately took away any nerves I had.

She gave me two injections in one arm using a technique she has developed herself — gently scratching the arm, talking, and injecting at the same time. I didn’t feel either injection, not even a tiny prick. I was genuinely shocked at how painless it was.

I think that the way Laura connects with her patients and puts them at ease is truly special. It was hands down the best experience I’ve ever had with injections, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone, especially those who feel anxious or nervous about immunisations.
