PET SCAN

Posted By Taurean_Prince

"PET SCAN"

About: Prince of Wales Hospital / Campus Centre 2 - Nuclear Medicine Department

(as the patient),

Today I had a PET Scan done at the Prince of Wales Hospital. 

The team that handled my scan was 1st class in terms of patient care from the nurses to the technicians and the doctors.

 I was overly impressed with how they made their patients feel at ease and cared for during a tough situation for most of us.

Tom the tech was very gentle with inserting the cannula into my arm especially since I had a needle phobia.

The two techs who did my scan (Melissa and Hajar) were both very thoughtful and even checked up on me during the PET scan by singing me a few songs towards the end when my body was starting to ache and my mind was starting to get restless this made me relax and allowed me to complete my scan,
