Mr Rory Middleton 2021-07-18 Person 5 5 0

My 80 yr. old body was badly broken when Dr. Rory Middleton arrived at my bedside in RCH. I had a broken hip replacement and cracked femur.Having revealed my injuries I was informed that the same type of hip joint was not in stock and would take four days to obtain.Mr. M.thought he could adapt one that was in stock and his articulateness and confident attitude persuaded me that was the better option and the six hour operation took place the following day.Mr. Middleton's after care was exemplary. appearing at my bedside daily, explaining what had taken place in surgery and the interventions required to aid my recovery. My recent check up with Mr. Middleton showed my two hips looking well embedded and I was able to say pain free. It gave me great pleasure to be able to tell him that I am in a better state than I was pre-accident as my first hip replacement had a poor outcome leaving me with a pronounced limp. Mr. Middleton was able to correct some of the damage and the limp has gone. I am fortunate to be a fit and strong 83 year old who will forever be grateful to Mr. Rory Middleton for his skill, care and making himself available if any future problems arise. Cornwall is fortunate to have such skills available in the NHS
