"Efficient and empathetic"

About: Kyneton Hospital

(as the patient),

I had surgery for a colonoscopy. I am in my late 60’s and have had previous colonoscopies. I may have been lucky (not normally the case), but I found the procedure was efficient, the staff in admin, nurses and medical practitioners were competent and friendly. The level of empathy in these times was outstanding.

I cannot commend Kyneton Hospital enough and that is high praise indeed from someone who is regarded as cantankerous and not as patient as most.

Many thanks.

Dear Grumpy01,

Thank you for sharing your story with us. I admit I've yet to meet a patient who gets excited about having a colonoscopy but knowing that our staff can help make the process efficient, and deliver the procedure with empathy and in a friendly, competent manner is a good experience for everyone!

Kind regards,

Michelle

Director Quality & Safety

PS. You don't sound cantankerous at all!
