I am compelled to say a massive thank you to Mr James Bourne for saving my spine from a potential catastrophic event following a fall which damaged T11 plus a hairline fracture of the spine. Once it was confirmed that my spine had become unstable Mr Bourne moved swiftly to schedule my surgery. When I met him for the first time I immediately felt fully at ease and confident that he would quickly resolve my injuries, he spoke to me in very warm and assuring manner both before and after the operation. He has done a first class job and in my view is an absolute gentleman. I have to mention another absolute gentleman Mr Andrew Berg (Mr Bourne's Registrar) who was present at the operation and reviewed my X rays last month and confirmed Mr Bourne's excellent work still looked exactly as it should. Thanks too to all the staff at Royal Preston and Chorley hospitals.

Response from Mr James Bourne

Thank you for your kind words. It has been a pleasure to help you. Many spinal fractures can be treated without an operation, but sometimes we do recommend surgery. I am really happy that you are pleased with the result so far. As you say, it is a big team effort for such surgery, and lots of people are involved, so thanks on behalf of all the staff. Best wishes J
