I recently had surgery and unfortunately got a post operative infection. Bad luck! Anyway, this infection was pretty horrid and made me feel the worst I’ve felt in myself and with pretty shocking pain. I attended J24 women’s assessment unit initially 4 days post op. I was Afraid and in agony. Fortunately for me I was welcomed by a dr who worked there and ultimately looked after me for that day and the following few days to come. This dr was absolutely amazing. She was called Sarah Manning and I honestly didn’t know there were people like this around anymore. I had so many concerns and was very anxious initially regarding certain procedures I required because of the infection. Sarah calmed and reassured me every single time. Most importantly she also fixed me. I never once felt like a burden and the time she spent on my care was always with such professionalism and care and thankfully with a bit of humour thrown in! I can’t thank this dr enough and wasn’t sure what else I could do to show my appreciation to her (Although I’m sure she’d probably prefer chocolate!). I know generally it’s all about the team and nobody can do their job without their team and I agree with that, but on this occasion it really was all about her. As soon as I’d see her I knew I’d be ok. So I just wanted to say thank you for being amazing and thank you for caring, such a simple act but yet so many people lack this quality.
