Mr Aziz Momin 2017-12-15 Person 5 5 0

Mr Momin was direct, friendly and seemed to be efficient. He also seemed quite young and very alert and was introduced to the anaesthetist Dr Quinton. All seemed to be set fair so I was content for the work to proceed. I told him that I had absolute trust in him - I did not have much choice, anyway! My triple heart bypass seemed to go well with the attention of Mr Momin and two other surgeons. I was told took from 8.15am to around midday. The incisions healed well and quickly in very few days without any seepage or infection. I gather that so many procedures of this kind are carried out that they are almost routine. It was a much bigger op than I imagined, and was sitting up in bed writing notes the day after. Recuperation is a longer process and limiting in the activities I should like to do, but feel so very tired I have to accept that so that healing can take place. Bowel movement worked eventually after more walking in the hospital corridors that enabled my discharge, but was slight problem at home. Tried unsuccessfully to consult Mr Momin's secy for advice but eventually I obtained from local pharmacist Fybogel Hi-Fibre orange Ispachula Husk, on thee understanding that I would not be taking a codeine pain killer. As I had only taken codeine once or twice and eschewed Paracetamol this was not a problem. I did find the Husk helpful for several days. All is now normal. I am hoping that my GP will not feel it necessary to continue some medication that may have contributed to my slight constipation. My tiredness and lethargy has surprised me. Visitors need to be restricted, but am taking part in some matters that were my responsibilities. Rest is important, plus a little excercise. Have resigned some responsibilities that others have taken over that provides some relief. The dedicated care and love expressed by all staff has been a real blessing - so that I have really enjoyed my time at St George's NHS Trust. I hope that the NHS are able to look after their staff as well as the staff look after their patients. I had a great time. SUGGESTIONS 1. More advice on constipation remedies 2. More emphasis on need for rest and recuperation
