This doctor saved my life. I went into emergency A&E with a bloated stomach, severe pains along with explosive diaherria & vomiting. Within a matter of hours Mrs Craig Team were around me in a side room urging me to stay in hospital as I was wanting to discharge myself. After further tests I was one meal away from a perforated bowel and my Chron's had come back with a mega vengeance. Mrs Craig was the one to break this news to me and explained I needed emergency surgery and a temporary Stoma, she then drew what her and her team planned to do and that I had to cancel my much awaited family holiday. I freaked out and through tears asked for a bit more time to take it all in and tell my family. I had never even heard of a Stoma before! Mrs Craig seen -my fear and told me to watch a YouTube upload of a girl who had gone through my ordeal, I could relate to his girl so much and it calmed me some as I am the biggest whimp lol. As an Outpatient Mrs Craig explained that pending the results of various tests I will be going in for surgery to have my Stoma put back inside 17th October. She explained the whole procedure, made sure that that I was comfortable with everything and asked if I had any further questions. Mrs Craig has a wicked sense of humour which made my whole experience less frightening / daunting. She really has a way of.putting extremely nervous patients at ease, I just love her and trust her 1001%.
