I suffer with a huge phobia of needles & to say I was extremely nervous would be an understatement. As soon as Niven came to see me before the surgery his smiley face and lovely sense of humour put me at ease straight away, I felt that he really listened to my concerns and dealt with me in the best way possibly by being sympathetic, understanding and also making me laugh! In the end I decided to let him use a cannula rather than the gas mask which I had previously had my mind set on and let me tell you, I did not even feel the cannula go in! The man is magic and I am so thankful that I was lucky enough to have him as my anaesthetist! Thank You Mr Akotia you are amazing at what you do!!
