I saw Mr Connell first at Kingsnorth where he easily addressed the reason that I was there. In discussion he asked about a past procedure and we discussed growing incontinence. He was kind and enthusiastic with a plan about how I should proceed with HRT going forward and was keen to see my incontinence investigated and treated and included that on my GP letter. On my subsequent admission to KIMS (NHS) for hysteroscopy he also carried out a cystoscopy which would save me further investigation. I am so grateful for that. Throughout the process I was impressed that Mr Connell addressed my needs holistically as a post menopausal woman and was focused on me being active and energetic as I age. I was terrified about having a GA having seen so many people ill and sick after. He was kind and appropriate about that and in fact I was quickly asleep and woke up almost instantly after, alert and with no sickness - great anaesthetist too! I can only think that Mr Connell was gentle during the procedure as I had no pain after and did not need to take any analgesics. I was back at my home desk doing an hour of work that afternoon. The only comments I have is about having no post op consultation. I know there are so many small ops that time is not allocated to this and it would be an NHS expenditure that is often not needed. Maybe add some more detail in the letter for the patient might help? I am googling the findings and probably that will suffice.
