Hip replacement surgery

Posted By zuluhh54

"Hip replacement surgery"

About: Wonthaggi Hospital

(as the patient),

Recently I had total hip replacement surgery. From the time I was given my surgery date I was a nervous wreck. At the pre admission clinic I was treated with incredible kindness and reassurance. On the day of my surgery everyone was so professional and so kind and I felt very supported. From theatre to recovery and then to the ward I was constantly checked on and reassured.

My heartfelt thanks to all who were a part of my care, the wonderful Nurses, Doctors, Anaesthetist, the ladies who came to check what meals I would like, the OT, Physio, the cleaners, all were so professional and so kind.

My stay was made so much easier because of this kindness.

I will be returning to have the left hip done and I will be more relaxed due to this positive experience.
