I have attended the Pain Clinic at Wythenshawe hospital under the care of Dr Ilan Lieberman and his team who in my opinion are the very best health provider I have met over many long years of treatment. I usually don't like going to hospital and get nervous and anxious but this is not the case at this clinic because the service and people are so outstanding that it is like visiting very useful friends. If only all NHS services could be like these doctor and support nurses and administration staff! A couple of weeks ago I attended for Stellate Ganglion Blockage with Dr Lieberman using a much longed for piece of equipment that made my treatment less painful, much quicker, less stressful for both me and the doctor, more accurate therefore lowering the change of mistakes because the medication could be injected into the correct place rather than into a blood vessel, artery or any other delicate and vital area of my neck. I was dismayed, however, to see the sign the much needed equipment was only on hire but it is essential there is one available at all times to enable Dr Lieberman do his job correctly and to minimise litigation due to serious injury and serious consequences for all concerned. I sincerely hope I never have to have my treatment without this essential piece of equipment. If such equipment he could see more patients than he can without it therefore help reduce waiting times therefore improving the NHS waiting list of patients waiting for treatment. I cannot stress enough how much this treatment makes to my life because before being referred to the tender care of Dr Lieberman I was being admitted to our local hospital at least five times a year. I am extremely pleased this has resulted in not being admitted since 2002. A long as I can get my treatment every three months it enables me to live a very productive life I spite of being 75 years old and a wheelchair user with heart disease. None of this would be possible without Dr Lieberman and his wonderful staff for which I will be eternally grateful. Thank you everyone for being a First Class Team. Margaret Burrow, MBE.
