Mr Lindley was my surgeon in 2016, for a keyhole splenectomy. The pre-operative acre and meetings that we had with him were always perfect, not rushed, had plenty of time for questions, and even involved me (I was 14 at the time), which is something not all doctors do within children's healthcare. Sadly, my spleen was larger than expected and required open surgery. Mr Lindley dealt with this with compassion and had to converse with my parents to gain consent. This operation should have taken approx 1-2 hours. Due to the complications, it took 10 hours in the end. Mr Lindley deserves such recognition for still being professional and completing the surgery himself (rather than handing it over to another surgeon). (I'm sorry for keeping you so late that shift :/ ) He then visited multiple times post-surgery during my recovery at Sheffield Children's Hospital on the surgical ward. The entire experience from pre-operative to post-operative was excellent, and highly recommended!! His talent saved my life!
