"Pre-Admission to Royal Perth Hospital"

Attended RPH for an upcoming operation. I'm a typical adult male that won't see a Dr unless I'm dying - terrified of hospitals, procedures and especially needles. I'm only going thru with this out of necessity.

I have to say that my short stay of 2 hrs went very well, far better than expected. The whole terrifying ordeal for me, (and this is only pre-admission), left me feeling still worried but comfortable to proceed with the procedures.

The staff were extremely efficient, very, very understanding and completely sympathetic to my condition and phobias, and the 3 professionals I saw were exceptional. I have to thank the lady nurse who's originally from the UK, you know who you are, you were absolutely b****y brilliant!

I figured at first glance you might be what I feel is the typical nurse (short sharp and to the point, now go I've other patients to see) but how wrong I was...she was a breath of fresh air, beautiful personality, comical, understanding and the whole 20 min consultation was spent swapping stories and almost rolling about the floor laughing. Made me feel so much more relaxed and upon leaving she turned to me and said" you've made my day".

I believe this nurse is a credit to Royal Perth Hospital and our Perth-based medical staff. I only wished she would be my nurse when I go under the knife.
