Mr James Bourne

Written by a patient at Fulwood Hall Hospital

I can't fault the care I have been given by Dr Bourne. From the first meeting he inspired confidence that he could perform the surgery I needed and get me back to health. I went into hospital on the day of surgery unable to walk, and in immense pain due to my spine injury. The next day I walked out pain free, the recovery time was really short, and I was back at work 3 weeks later. Thank you Dr Bourne.

The first consultation I had with Mr. Bourne put me at my ease. He gave me the time to explain my symptoms. He had my MRI scan and explained to me in great detail what the problem was and what the solution to the problem was. I had one disc drop down onto the one below pushing it out of place. I had my operation at the end of May this year were Mr Bourne inserted bolts and rods into my spine. I am feeling stronger everyday and am so thankful we have such talented doctors and staff. I told him in the hospital but I don't mind telling him again Mr Bourne THANKYOU!

I was referred to Mr Bourne from my GP after seeing 3/4 other doctors who failed to correctly diagnose my leg and hip pain. After spending 5 minutes with him, he diagnosed me with a likely L4-L5 herniated disc. He then booked me in for an MRI scan which eventually shown the diagnosis to be correct. Mr Bourne then gave me the choice of surgery or cortisone injections after months of non-surgical treatments had failed to improve my symptoms. He explained the risks involved in the surgery but it was my final option as I couldn’t walk without the aid of crutches for 6 months! On the day of the surgery I was put in my own private room with a TV, I almost forgot I was about to get surgery! Mr Bourne came in to explain the procedure and draw markings on my back. At around 5pm I was taken down to the pre-op room and given the anaesthetic. I woke up and felt immediate pain relief. Mr Bourne checked on me later and informed me the surgery was a success. I was discharged around 12pm the next day, walking! 3 months down the line I’m around 80% back to normal. I still feel a sharp sciatic pain if I move in a certain position but Mr Bourne said this could be due to scar tissue or still some damage to the nerve as it was pinched for half a year. I’m confident within a year i’ll be back to living my old active life. Mr Bourne made me feel comfortable and confident with having surgery through the whole process with his funny and straight to the point personality. I can’t recommend him enough. Not all heroes wear capes!

After reading a copy of my MRI report which contained a lot of complex jargon,Mr Bourne explained my condition in lucid terms,along with a strategy to combat the problem of long standing degenerative change in my lumbar region. I felt reassured that the treatment recommendations were compatible with my needs,and he also explained the benefits and risks of surgery if it became necessary. Overall I was very satisfied with the consultation and would recommend Mr Bourne to anyone reading this review.
