From the first appointment in the Fracture clinic with Mr Yewlett I felt very comfortable and at ease with him as he fully explained the ins and outs of what the operation and the future. He told me that for him to do the operation needed there was a seven month waiting list and asked me if I would like to go on the pool waiting list meaning any one of his colleagues would do the operation. Just imagine my surprise and delight a month later I had a phone call to attend Pilgrim Hospital a few days later and Mr Yewlett would be operating on me. We arrived at the hospital shortly after 9.00 am and told to go the top floor lounge to wait to be called, It was not ill 1.45pm that I was given instructions to get myself ready for theatre. Mr Yewlett had already been to see us and asked if I wanted to through with it. I replied most definitely (still being in so much pain). He said great as he has had to get someone in from away to help him with the special tools. However when I was being prepared for the theatre, I was told there was no bed for me (I said put me in the Bostonian for the night), then the wonderful anaesthetist came back in and said a bed had been found so the operation went ahead. It took some five hours to perform and was discharged the following afternoon (having had a visit from the anaesthetist mid morning to check on how I was doing/feeling). My wife rang the hospital on the evening of the operation but no one knew which ward I was in so this was a worry for her. Due to covid lockdown I did not receive any follow up physiotherapy at hospital, however I googled and was able to print some exercises which I did at home. It is now Nov 23 and had the operation Feb 20 and have had no problems whatsoever and have the full use of my shoulder, able to all to what is asked due to the superb work done during and after by Mr Yewlett. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Yewlett or the type of the operation he performed on me. Only a few months earlier I had read in the local Grantham Journal about Mr Yewlett and his work in his specialist field, being the top one in the country which gave me a lot of faith when I saw him. Many thanks Mr Yewlett for everything you have done for me.
