Liz cared for me extremely well! She explained everything in great detail, outlining the pros and cons of each option. We eventually decided on a spinal anaesthesia as I was concerned about going under a GA. Nothing was too much trouble for Liz, she played her own theatre playlist in theatre for me to keep me occupied during my surgery and sat with me chatting throughout the whole thing. She was very observant and caring. She provided analgesia for me when I needed and monitored me well! I honestly could not recommend Liz enough. Such a scary experience made comfortable and at times even pleasant, which I really did not expect! Thank you!

Response from Dr Liz Kingston
Thank you so much for your feedback. I am a real fan of spinal anaesthesia for appropriate procedures, and think it can be a great option for many patients- avoiding the need to go to sleep/ feel confused after surgery/ quicker return to eating and drinking/ great pain relief and no sore throat from breathing tubes! Music can be really relaxing in theatre and I love being able to share that with patients- it brings a smile to everyone's faces! I was so pleased I could make a scary thing manageable for you, and was happy to hear you even had some pleasant moments too. I hope this experience gives you a positive memory of anaesthetic care, and that this will be helpful for you if you ever need an anaesthetic again in the future. Wishing you well for your recovery.
