It was some months ago since my foot operation and so to be honest I don't remember too much about this specific person, although I do remember him being re-assuring and kind. The main reason I am writing this review is due to the post op side of things, when I started to come round in the operating theatre. Please forgive me if this is not connected to the anaesthesia side of things itself. But I had to let someone know how frightened I was lying on that bed in the theatre gradually becoming conscious, and the panic building inside of me, because I was totally unaware that I had had my operation. I truly believed that I was still just about to have it and thought the anaesthetic was wearing off. I kept lifting my head hoping that one of the doctor's or nurses in the operating theatre would see that I was coming around and come over and help me. No one did for what seemed a very long time. Yet I could see that a couple of them had seen that I was waking up. The panic inside me growing all the time. Until eventually someone did come over and put my mind at rest. I would not want any other person to ever experience this same mental trauma. This was a prime example of people doing the same job day in day out and forgetting what it must be like to be a patient who probably has never had an operation before.
