On arrival to the ward I was a complete nervous wreck. Doctor Akotia was the first doctor I saw: was very informative and relaxed which in turn put me at ease. Arriving to theatre I broke down in tears, but within moments I was laughing and joking with his distraction techniques and lighthearted comments I’d forgotten my fears. Dr Akotia put me at instant ease and made it clear I was in safe hands. He was clear with what he was doing which I needed and had me laughing before I went off to sleep. Being woke up by him when i came around was also reassuring and made me smile again for some reason. I recognised the voice telling me time to wake up. Great bedside manner, came to see me after the op to ensure I was up and moving and once again had the entire room giggling. The anaesthetic was my biggest fear but turned out to be the most enjoyable (if that’s possible) part of the procedure. Thank You!
