From 2007 I had increasing discomfort then pain in my right elbow from sitting hours and hours working in front of the computer. By spring 2013 I was seriously disabled. My excellent GP got me an early appointment with Mr Vipul Patel. He saw me promptly and listened to my story asking questions as I went along. Then he examined me thoroughly. He explained that it was probably quite serious damage to the biceps tendon and I had to have an MRI. Since I have a pacemaker this was quite complicated but he fixed it for me at St Helier Hosp with Mr Richard Norcliffe in charge and a Cardiologist there in case anything went wrong. Fantastic care. He saw me again within a few days and showed me on the MRI how the tendon was close to having 'rotted' through. He repaired it beautifully with Dr Sandy Kidd giving me the anaesthetic just right. He arranged the physio for me and went on seeing me until it was all healed up. Thanks to his fantastic care it is has been absolutely fine for a long time now and I can just about do anything. First class job in every way.
