I arrived at the John Radcliffe Trauma Unit on Thursday evening a week after a fall from my horse. I spent the week in a general hospital awaiting a diagnosis and plan; given that I had an unstable fracture of my spine this was a very difficult time for me. I felt vulnerable and at risk of further injury. From the minute I was referred to the John Radcliffe I was treated with absolute professionalism, care and respect. Before I arrived my case had been discussed by the Trauma team and treatment options decided. When I arrived each person I met introduced themselves and took the time to explain their role in my care and recovery. Dr Chaudhary went in to considerable detail about my operation and answered all the questions I had with care and attention to detail. I had every confidence that he and his team had my best interests at heart. I was in surgery on Friday morning and by Saturday evening I was discharged. His keyhole surgery technique has meant that my speedy recovery seems to be assured. I cannot thank him enough. The contrast between all the staff at the John Radcliffe - the health care team, the nurses, the anaesthetists, the surgeons and the physiotherapists and those at the other hospital was night and day. It was a pleasure to experience such high standards of professionalism, care and support. Thank you
