I was seen by Mr Patel after almost 18 months struggling with my breathing and general health as a result. He immediately knew what my problem was, and confirmed after doing several checks. He diagnosed me with Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis. After such a long time, it was extremely reassuring to get a diagnosis and to know that what I had been experiencing had a name! I felt seen, heard and validated. Within 2 weeks I was in for an operation on my windpipe under his care. The relief I got from having the operation was immediate. I could breathe normally again. It made everything that I had been struggling with ( even very small tasks and taking a few steps were a challenge and made me breathless ) go back to pretty much normal. As a result of lack of exercise and energy and had become very unfit and put on even more weight. But now I could function and challenge against my physical state. I am so, so thankful to have been sent to see Mr Patel, and to have had my diagnosis and treatment. It isn’t something I had heard of and I do wish more noise could be made about Subglottic Stenosis. He is a very kind, approachable and respectful person and really cared to make a difference. Thank you. Mrs C Wilshaw
