"Follow up colonoscopy"

I attended Bright Hospital recently to have a 3 year follow up colonoscopy. I was required to attend the hospital prior to my procedure and must say I was a bit concerned with the overall appearance of the hospital which I had never attended previously. It looked old & tired, gardens needed attention and appearance was a bit shabby, in my opinion. On the morning of the procedure I was directed to a waiting area that also looked rather depressing. However, once I was taken into the pre-op area I was pleasantly surprised. The lovely nursing staff were very professional, paid attention to detail, took me to a lovely clean pre-op bed and area - overall excellent and I felt quite confident. Event with doctor & anaesthetist - all good.

A problem has subsequently occurred which may or may not be related to my stay. Two days after procedure I have developed a painful leg. As I had been taking things quietly my local doctor thought the damage might have occurred by positioning me on the operating table. Seems like an overstretch of my lower hamstring muscle area and was still painful a week later. It started as a dull ache along the back of my leg. I only mention this to make staff aware that this could possibly happen? Overall I was very happy with my care at Alpine Health and wouldn't hesitate to go there again. Good luck with funding for a new hospital.
