We are all soooo relieved to be on the right side of this problem. Once again, Petrina sends her thanks for all the support. there were times when she really felt she needed it!
A little surreal humour, to prove that all in NHS uk is not completely black.
P reports that when she had had her pre-med and was lying feeling woozy waiting to go down to the theatre, these two guys came in and said 'Mrs Crosby, permit us to introduce ourselves, I am your surgeon and this is your aneasthetist. We want to assure you that you will have the best possible care!'
As she said, the blue overalls should have been a give away, but she was off with the fairies anyway, so, a surgeon on trolley duty? Money is tight in the NHS!
Then he said ' We have never actually done this operation before, but we've read all the text books this morning and have a fairly good idea of how it should go.
At this point the penny dropped, and, as she says' I thought, what the hell, if you are going to die, you might as well die laughing.'
Now you see why we love her!
