Mrs Amtul Carmichael

Written by a NHS patient at Queen's Hospital

When I first met Mrs Carmichael, she did her best to put me at ease despite the news and patiently answered my questions. She also reassured me that I could talk to her again if I needed to, which gave me great peace of mind. On the morning of my surgery, Mrs Carmichael came to see me and she said that she would do her best as far as my request went for a flat result from the mastectomy. Although a mastectomy wasn't quite what I was expecting after my first mammogram, I am delighted with the surgery she performed and also with the way it has all healed. Mrs Carmichael was also very reassuring at my post op appointment and, again, very patient with my questions. Along with the rest of the team around her, they made a scary situation much easier to deal with.

The care I received from Mrs Carmichael was excellent. She ensured I understood the information that I was provided, that I had explored all the options available to me and that I was clear on what the impact of the surgery was. Her structured approach gave us a great deal of confidence and she ensured at evert appointment that there was time to ask and answer questions. I felt I could be open and honest with her about my concerns and that these were noted. She supported me through the surgery and through my results and I feel confident in my ongoing care.

I have had a risk reducing bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction & have been privileged to have Mrs Carmichael as one of my surgeons. I have had & continue to have the absolute best care from this lovely lady, who completely invests herself in her patients. I have hit a few bumps in the road to recovery & Mrs Carmichael has been & continues to be by my side throughout. She has gone above & beyond to ensure that I get the best care possible. She truly is a wonderful, kind, compassionate lady & I am so glad that I am under her care.

Mrs Carmichael is a very caring and kind lady. She explained my operation to me in great detail and answered any questions I asked honestly and in a way that was easily understood. On the day of my operation Mrs Carmichael and her team greeted me very warmly and reassured me. Thanks too must go to Burton breast care team who have been amazing. Mrs Carmichael has said that she will be operating on my other breast to reduce it down in size to my operated breast. I cannot thank Mrs Carmichael enough for everything she has done for me.

My experience was truly amazing. Obviously it was a very frightening time never imagining I would have breast cancer. However from the beginning everything moved very quickly, which I was surprised at. My operation was 31st January 2022. I received fantastic care from all the hospital staff at Burton Hospital. The Breast Care Unit I cannot praise highly enough, they were all caring, very helpful and made me feel very safe, whatever they would have told me to do I would do it. Mrs.Carmichael's work is nothing short of amazing, I experienced no pain after the operation at all and are healing very well. I am glad Mrs. Carmichael got to give me the good news she had removed all the tumour and there was no further signs. I was one of the lucky ones that received good news from Mrs.Carmichael I do not know how she gives the news to those not as lucky. I cannot praise Mrs. Carmichael enough from the moment I met her I felt I was in very safe hands. I will be writing to Dr. Magnus Harrison, Chief Executive of Derby and Burton NHS to let him know of my experience.
