Dr Behounek took the time to explain the many changes that have taken place this last 10 years,since I was seen last.
He didn't rush the consultation at all,and was very polite at all times!
He explained the scan to me,that he suggested I have,and inspired confidence
In me.
He actually had a sense of humour.....
Dr Martin Behounek spoke with my wife today at the Glenfield Hospital's Clinical Decisions Unit which she was attending with angina-like symptoms for the second time. He spoke us through the echo cardiogram he performed, showing me what was what on the screen. He talked through the different possible reasons for angina-like pain in a very logical and reasoned way. When we asked if there was a possibility that she had microvascular angina he explained why this was very unlikely on the basis of the readiness with which the coronary arteries filled during the angiogram. He unsolicitedly took us to see the angiogram video and then explained the most likely reason for the chest tightness and radiation to the left arm (muscle tension affecting thoracic nerves). He assured her that she could take exercise without compromising her health. The whole was done so professionally and with such clarity, logic and appropriate response to concern, that we both came away feeling the consultation to have exceed our expectation and, in short, to have been impeccably good. Nothing was overdone and no time was wasted, yet everything that needed to be said was said and we felt respected. I write this with a sense of gratitude. (I have filled my wife's demographic details below, rather than my own).
Wow! What a lovely and caring Consultant. My mum is 89 and a real toughie. Martin met her in A & E at Leicester Royal Infirmary and though it was a mega busy day as always there he and the nursing staff there at the time could not have been any better. Mum and the family love you all and the care that Mum had. Mum was not very stable at the time but there were lots of others that needed their assistance too. Martin was fabulous, he held Mum's hand and explained in laymen's terms what was happening and how he was going to help her. Gave us lots of confidence as did her nurse at the time Daryl, sorry if I have spelt the name wrong, but she was so so lovely. Mum was transferred to Glenfield thanks to Martin as her condition was not great. To cut a long story short Mum has improved and it was lovely that Martin was at Mum's side to tell her that she could go home. Mum so appreciated what you did for her and all the lovely caring staff. She couldn't have been in better hands. Thank you so much for your caring nature. x
