At my original assessment Mr Krkovic very clearly explained all things that could go wrong with a knee replacement operation and asked if I still wanted to go ahead. I thought that was good. On the morning of my admission, he visited me in my room before my operation and, to my surprise, a few hours after it AND the next day. It was comforting because I really did feel that he cared. His advice about taking whatever painkillers I was offered to control the pain BEFORE it started was excellent - at no time was the pain ever severe. I have told everyone that it was the best operation I've ever had because within a few hours of coming round from the general anaesthetic I actually felt hungry! My wound healed well and quickly. I have to confess that as a NHS funded patient I did wonder if there was a two tiered system when it came to treatment. I needn't have worried. The care I received from Mr Krkovic (and indeed all the Spire staff) was absolutely first class and I feel very fortunate. When I was discharged he said that if ever I was concerned I could get in touch. That surprised me and was SO reassuring. THANK YOU!
