11th January 2014


I am a 65 year old mother who on new years eve had a accident was taken under duress to hillingdon hospital not for one minute thinking l had done anything serious to my hip infact i had broken it mr somashekar came to see me new years day to tell me what sort of opperation he was going to do either save my femur bone or do a complete hip replacement. Im pleased to say he managed to save my hip with screws and a plate.at all times being very understanding as i have a long standing condition called depression which can raise its ugly head at anytime especially when i get worried or stressed.he was very understanding at all times not just to me but my husband &daughter.i would recommend him to anybody facing similar surgery.i am writing this while recouperatling at home.its a long road back to full recovery but i am sure i will make it. Thank you once again pauline hayes.
