¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThe latest one is dead cocky ¡ª but then they have to have a bit of ego and self confidence or you wouldn¡¯t want them operating on you now would you.He did a good job and I¡¯m here to talk about it. Funnily enough my GP asked me about my vascular surgeon (it was his recommendation) - he¡¯d had complaints that he didn¡¯t have bedside manner. ?I said well as far as I was concerned he was great. Saw me before the op, chatted to me prior to anaesthetic, saw me straight after in recovery, sneeked my husband into recovery to talk to me, came late at night into ICU to visit me and chat with the Professor who was looking after me through the night, came early next day to see me and visited me when they shifted me after 2 nights in ICU. Hello ¡ª thats pretty decent attention I would say. ?But yes he is cocky :-). ?He did say to me I might last another five years and I burst out laughing and I told him where to get off.? I see him again in November ¡ª ?might buy him a new tie - he¡¯s fond of aboriginal designs and I¡¯ve found a place that does pure silk ties with paintings on. ?Surgeons do like trophies :-)?

Then he said I had a bit of rummage about while I was in there had a look at your kidneys liver and intestines and a bit of a wander round the bowel. My first thought was nothing's private these days. Then I said ...And what did you find... which was basically nothing. You're in pretty good shape he said. Then he said lifting the cloche "You haven't eaten your dinner" -- and I know thats one of the criteria for escaping hospital. ?I said I have a policy not to eat anything I can't recognise. He lifted the cloche again and said "I think thats fish" and I responded with "Can you guarantee that!". God it was awful - white potatoes, white sauce, white fish. You could die in hospital with the catering :-)? Jude |
