It's now six years since I was diagnosed with wet/AMD.Since then I have attended BEH and undergone many procedures including both cataracts.Two weeks ago I woke up totally blind in one eye as the result of an infection.A few hours later(Saturday morning) I was examined by A&E on duty doctor,refered to Mr.Lanvish Joshi who explained in great detail what the the problem was and what treatment was required.In no time I was in theatre.An amazing place with a great team. The following day an examination showed further treatment was necessary and I was offered two alternatives,one much more complex than the other.By now, my confidence in Joshi (as he likes to be called}had grown to the extent that I decided to go for broke. Monday morning we were back in theatre.Much longer this time. It went well,and after a few days of tender loving care by Nurse Ellie and her team I was released home on Thursday.Since then a follow up by Joshi shows all is well. Joshi has great empathy and understanding with his patients as I discovered when talking to his other patients.He obviously loves his work so it was no surprise to learn that he is moving up the ladder to a more senior position.He'll be much missed at BEH.
