"Positive diagnostic laparoscopy experience at Albany Health Campus"

About: Albany Health Campus / Day Procedure Unit Albany Health Campus / Operating Theatre Albany Health Campus / Recovery Albany Health Campus / Surgical Ward

(as the patient),

I had a diagnostic laparoscopy. I was very afraid and nervous, but everyone went above and beyond to make my experience as pleasant and comfortable as possible. 

I was given anxiety medication to help me feel more grounded. Andrew (the anesthesiologist), Allan (the anesthesia nurse) and especially Emma were incredible and helped put my mind at ease. Emma in particular went above and beyond for me, making sure I had warm blankets, holding my hand when I got anxious during the cannula insertion, and encouraging me to talk about a recent move to Geraldton to help distract me. I couldnt recommend Emma enough as both a nurse and a wonderful support person for anyone who's feeling nervous about getting surgery. 

As someone who's had many negative medical experiences in the past year, the Albany Health Campus crew went above and beyond to make it as positive and experience as possible. I am extremely grateful. 10/10.
